Centre county Pennsylvania, USA | It's true, EZSteer can actually drive 30 year old tractors. Here are some pictures of EZSteer we installed and tested on our sprayer tractor today. John Deere built that tractor at his tractor factory in 1976, We let EZSteer drive it at 8 MPH on hilly dirt, including over groundhog hotels, today. Life in that tractor will never be the same again. Only complaint is that driver that isn't driving can hang on to sprayer joystick with right hand but can't find anything to hang on to with left hand. Maybe Trimble or AgLeader will upgrade EZSteer with hand hanger kit, soon.
Trimble's EZSteer T2 box and version 3.1 firmware upgrade has quieted EZGuide plus lighbar, it rarely move off of dead center now. That's pretty convincing demo that GPS/WAAS and computers can steer 30 year old tractor much better than I can.
