Yesterday was the biggest test of the system since I started testing it. I've sprayed several thousand acres down 30" rows with perfect results but yesterday and today we used it to cultivate seed corn. Seed corn is planted using a 37.5' swath (overlap one row) and we cultivate 16 rows. It worked perfectly. I'm probably biased but it appears to be better than the RTX we've been using for the past 5 years.
I've told my dealer to take my subscriptions off of auto renew for next year. I also told him I wouldn't sell the service to others.....but putting together your own system if you have an understanding of computers, basic networking, and the ability to read is not too difficult.
Do you know the distance between your operations and your own base vs your dealership base? You are probably picking up appreciable precision just by virtue of having your base so much closer. My dealership's nearest base would be ~17 miles away, my own base is in the middle of the farm. |
