1k sterling up
Demo steering wheel fitted to our Class 836 . I have not seen it as I spent the evening cutting spring rape and clearing wild flower seeds out of the returns blower on the combine. I solved the problem there are no returns if you put in the barley screen and put it all in the tank.

I will get a drive in her on Monday . Is there issues with them at slow speed .What problems should I be on the look out for . It would be a great yoke on the pile driver to get a straight fence .
The Leica probably will not suite me because it is not Bogballe ready yet but KOB gave me a demo of it because of the three terrannos and possibly a 570tt on its way to Wexford that I have sold for them .
It is handy to have problems to look out for and see how the machine copes with them .

Did you get the topcon yet diesel power and if so how are you finding it? The rep is coming to me this week to give me a demo.
He was saying that the topcon hardly ever looses reception and that 3g phone masts affects some of the other makes but not theirs. Having said that it could be just sales talk, anyone shed some light on it
There is a case going through the US courts at the moment which involves a satellite based broadband service (Lightsquared) and the manufacturers and suppliers of GPS systems. Basically it all boils down to whether Lightsquared's satellite signals interfere with GPS reception. The GPS suppliers say yes they do (having told Lightsquared in the past that they don't) whilst Lightsquared points out that if they (the GPS makers) designed the reception side of their units a little better then there wouldn't be a problem.
To my mind it seems that the GPS guys don't want to spend a few extra pennies on their units whilst Lightsquared's contention that the radio spectrum is going to get ever more crowded anyway so they better sort the problems sooner rather than later seems to hold some truth.
If 3g phone masts are causing a problem then it's I'd say it's up to both sides to tidy up the overlap because the issue is not going to go away by itself.

I'd go Trimble or patchwork topcon is too complicated to change widths and different settings.go topcon if ur into tech and computers but not very user friendly.

Very difficult to follow it exactly really unless you have auto steer.
Sorry not much help.
Would there be a sensitivity setting that could be turned down?
Would loose some accuracy though

We have a patch work, i think the problem is, some lads try to drive while watching the screen and are always correcting, i think its better to let the screen guide you as you start your track, but try to be looking at where you are driving and only adjust the steering slightly as you drive, auto steer would be a great job imo for certain operations.

I think ithastopay is right! It's very hard for the first while to get yourself used to it, you subcontuosly spend to much time looking at it trying to react to every little flicker, found i was like that with it at first, it just takes a bit of getting used to it and relaxing with it.
Its more of another reference point than a screen to watch continuously!!

Dont mind the skips and overlaps to much, atleast not at first, they make it look worse than it may actually be, also remember with spraying you will inevitably have a bit of drift which will cover majority of the skips...
Think of it like a rear view mirror in your driving test, your suppose to check it every what 10 seconds, but if you check it to much you'll get marked down :D

Yes, but the skips and overlaps will be quite small in reality unless your literally going full turn to turn of the wheel each time?
There a guidance to keep you consistently at the right width, rather than say 10meters away when working to one side and 12 to the other...

You wont when you get used to it, the lads giving advice have been using them for a while and are trying to give you a bit of help, as said give it a bit of time and you should get used to it, if you dont no matter get rid of it and go back to what you did before you had it, plenty of lads have them and get on well with them others don't get on so well.
Personally i dont use ours very much and i wouldn't be great at using it, my brother uses it for spraying grass and spreading fertiliser and gets on very well with it.
