Not looking for tire speed or a $4000 data logger, just a single purpose tractor mounted speedometer. I have heard stories of a laser system, but have not been able to find one. [Reply]   [No Email]

Affordable, works great as long as you are outside and not under a bunch of trees. My club uses a speed board at the end of the track too, but I don't like the amount of delay it has in updating.

Not big, but I don't have any problems, if you wear bi-focals it might be a problem. It also has a backlight for night time use. As far as real time you can tell there is a tiny bit of lag, but its every bit as fast as the radar systems used on farm equipment. I've also used my eTrex to calibrate speedometers on tractors and combines at work. [Reply]  [No Email]
