From the 30's through the 60's this guidence system was used.The first trip around the field, the tractor had to be driven by the farmer.He the turned the tractor loose.Farmers ran multpule tractors this way.Most were just used for guidence, but some did shut the tractor off when the guide rose up out of the furrow.It was advised that someone remain in the field to make sure your tractor didn't jump out of the furrow and plow the neighbors field.In TX. my uncle ran 5 JD-70's at one time using this method.He said this was the only way he could make any money, was not having to hire all those tractor operators. Beleive it or not.In the book"150 years of International Harvester" on page #308, you will find one of these critters hooked up on a Farmall F20. Like they say,a picture is worth how many words.
