For tractor guidance or hand held?

I have a Magellan Sportrack but like the Garmin eTrax better.

With the Garmin, you can ride around the edge of a field and it will calculate acreage, show measurements, and elevations. Plus it will print a map of the plot.

That's about all I do with mine is calculate acreage.
 
for tractor guidance Mike. It needs to be the mapping kind I think. I don't know much about them but a friend is researching for his fertilizer truck. He wanted me to ask. He'd like one where you could go from truck to tractor so he could spray or use a spreader with his tractor under the same guidance system.
 
We just got a GPS Auto Steer in are planting tractor. It Can also be put in the combine it can do mapping and stuff. We havent got to use it yet this year because it has been to wet for planting. But we did demo it when we were sparying last summer. Seem to work very well for that.

It should work great for planting wont even have to use the markers.

Its pretty pricey though for the system we are running John deeres Green Star. You can get other brands that will do the same thing but i dont know what they cost or how good they are.

We have Green Star as well, but not Autosteer. I hope you'll post about it again sometime after you've used it quite a bit.

Katrina--You better buy your guy one of those self steering ones so you can be up with the fad of the day-- becoming initiated into the mile long club :shock: Its the in thing with all the farm kids... Have you humming "She thinks my tractor's sexy" all day long :wink: :lol:
 
I'll have to ask around here. I know some guys had to run a GPS while windrowing last summer and plot coordinates so they'd know where to drive with the baler :lol: :lol:

You must be drier and warmer than us by a lot down there than.. We are still to wet to get into fields for Oats let alone corn and well, with the ground frozen this moment we are not exactly in any rush.. Need to clean up the field today though, if it warms up a bit we need to plow the cows winter field up for planting... Gotta make sure there is no net wrap blowing aroun out there. Odds are there is a whole bunch of it..

That product was underconsideration until we found out you can't go around the field and that you have to go back and forth. Our country and fields are way too crooked in some instances to go back and forth. Odd shaped fields are very common here.
