Missouri river bottom south of Sioux City, IA | I assume you are aware that we can connect a RTK Ag332 with SN900 radio ($10,990) up to the EZ-Guide Plus/EZ-Steer. Put that under a RTK network and I don’t see were Leica’s price and complexity points come into play. Under the network the end user does not need to know the inter workings of setting up and running a RTK base station. Where was Leica 8 to 10 years ago when this auto-guidance started out? That’s when we were looking for “bare bones” guidance at prices not to far above manual guidance prices. More users are now passed that “bare bones” guidance system. They want everything in it except the kitchen sink. They want one readable color display that will do all types of guidance patterns, implement steering, VRT and monitor of many products, yield monitoring, auto-boom or row control, machine control of dirt scrapers or any tillage implements and logging everything that happens in the field for EPA records.
