jdc Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I'm sure I'm not the only one on here using GPS but here's a pic of the display from the other evening. The covered area is yellow, red lines are previous passes, blue lines those to come. LEDs at top indicate offline - three greens in centre means dead on, 12 reds to each side indicating how far off mark. It does a whole lot more too - a great bit of kit. Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Looks like a serious piece of kit John... expensive (yes of know will do... not actual)... Anyway... never mind that Mr Cranberry... what's that warning light on below the GPS :o Quote
Kris Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Was you using it for spraying then? Whats it like to set up? Quote
jdc Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 Anyway... never mind that Mr Cranberry... what's that warning light on below the GPS :o Just the PTO indicator - it's actually amber. Was you using it for spraying then? Whats it like to set up? I was spraying on tramlines but running it to see how it works. Dead easy to setup, and I'm overlaying the maps from here onto my mapping program and they are spot on. Going to use it for just about everything from now on. Quote
Tractorman810 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 can you wacth eastenders on it to mate :D clever stuff i must say, long gone are the days of sticks and bags tied to them at each turn Quote
Deere-est Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Thats what the farmers down here need John. Being so close to Salisbury Plain you can't use a good old tree or a bush for a marker point because quite often it is an army landrover or a soldier and they bu66er off half way through or move deceptively slowly :D Quote
Light Land Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Interesting,we have a basic gps system at work,I find it takes your eye off were your going because your looking at the lights and not were you are about to drive if you try and look at both you go cross eyed. Quote
MJB1 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 looks a bit techno to me john , you sure you know how to use it & have you got the emergency number to the 7 year old at the primary school to re-programme it when it goes wrong \ all hi tech stuff john ,was this part of a package for the tractor ? or a separate purchase for just acurately mapping the farm ?
