I've been spoiled. I've been working for a big farmer for a couple years now, and this year they decided to let me plant beans. Well, the tractor is an MX255 (I ran it on the grain cart for two falls) pulling a Kinze 16 Row Interplant. (Actually 32 15 inch rows.) They're trying out the John Deere Auto-Steer system on this rig. All I can say is, that thing is really cool!! Go into any field, get a straight line set up, and away you go.

Just grab the wheel, make the turn, and when you get pointed back in the general direction of the row, engage the steering and it takes you back on the row. Slick as a whistle. I still use the markers just to be sure, but otherwise I can just sit there, talk on my cellphone, or eat a sandwich. Yes, I feel guilty being so lazy, but it's quite an experience to use that technology. Being my first time planting, I have learned how to drive manually with the markers, so don't give up on me just yet ; ) Anyone else had experience with this?
