AG GPS systems

Terry Alexander · Jun 23, 2010

I have a small (75 hp at the PTO) tractor. I am wasting a lot of product when I spray because I can"t see where I"ve been. I"ve tried that dye, but that was $125 wasted.

I am thinking about getting an AG GPS system to be more efficient when spraying. I do not need a system that actually steers the tractor.

Can anybody recommend a low price AG GPS?

Thanking you in advance for your most valued opinions.

Outback S-lite Bought one this spring. Love the thing. A little over $800 with shipping.

GPS is fine another low cost option is a foam marker. It generates a row of foam at the end of your boom so you can see were the last pass was. You can get good used ones very cheap as people convert to GPS and no longer have a use for foamers.

if you buy a smart antenna, use your laptop and download this software you have a working system.

here is a screen shot of the software from lefebure:

this young farmer wrote the software and offers it for free. An amazing accomplishment:

Raven makes the easiest to use system in my opinion.

Instead of having to set up a pattern, raven has the 'last pass' feature. They are the only ones that have it and I personally love it compared to other systems

A raven cruizer will run about $1600 for a nnew one with the good antena. You might be able to find a used one for maybe a little better than 1/2 that.

Better than a light bar as it will show views of farm that can show where you missed a corner or point rows or ???
