I tried in every way imaginable to me, using any word/word combinations (which is a complete joke in and of itself, on this site), to search for this information as I'm sure its come up many times before. But I failed repeatedly
I am looking for recommendations for a lower level GPS guidance system for spraying, drilling, etc. It does NOT need pinpoint accuracy, although the potential for future 'autosteer' upgrade might be nice. It is not a necessity. I've done some research and have looked at the Raven CR7 as well as the AgLeader 800G. Its likely either one would do what I need them to do. I've tried the App store apps... and they were less than useless. I'm open to any brand or options.
I have 130ac of Kentucky farm, so lots of irregular fields broken up between 1-28ac.
Tractor is JD6120M (2017)
Implements most likely used. 40' Grassworks weed wiper, 11' Land Pride drill, Haybuster 10' drill,
1. Easy to use. I don't want to get a degree in order to drive a straight line next the the last one.
2. 'Relatively' good screen... my eyes aren't getting younger.
3. Portable. While this will primarily remain in my JD6120M, I'd like the ability to move it to a side-by-side or other tractor if needed.
4. Price - This is not the kicker for me, but I don't want to pay for a lot of bells and whistles that I'll never use. But I also don't want to fight or dread using it.
5. Potential addon for autosteer. I don't really see this as a likelihood, but all in all, I'd pay a little more if I could potentially add it later, should I desire. Or for a smoking deal, add it now, should one exist.
