Subject: 1) Leica Mojo RTK Versatile 976 Install pics

Winkler, Manitoba Canada

Another cold rainy day so it is time to get this documented. Purchased a couple of Mojo units on a dealer closeout. Rationale: price was right, two units allow us to test components by substitution, never thought there was much point to autosteer that would almost drive where you want it to, thought that Leica might be somewhat supportive of attempting unsupported installs, and I like technical challenges that have positive results. Thanks to gpsdude and Pat H for their comments in regards to the system both here and in email. Leica technical support was somewhat helpful but not encouraging as they are geared towards supporting dealers. They did go to some length to provide answers to very direct questions but would not provide any advice. Online technical support from many companies was accessed to come up with our final solutions. Google was our friend! Thanks to my son Eric for the pictures and a lot of the install work. In testing the unit seems to steer the tractor very nicely. Hopefully in the next few days we will be able to try it in the field.
