Reply With QuoteNeat...what kind of production increase/cost saving can you expect from the use of GPS systems?
You must be farming a sizable area to benefit from the investment, what crops you raise?

My dad and I work a lil over 3k acres. We raise rice beans and cotton. We have only got to
Use them 2 days so far and I can see they are gonna save fuel and time. We have been putting chicken litter out and covering it with chissel plows. There is no overlap and no pie shapes to work out when laying off lands. When I decided to purchase these units it was because the rice seed saved during planting would pay for them. From 2 days of use I can see the fuel and time saved will add up to much more than the seed.
Wow, good luck with'em. You'll have to share some pics from the field, now that you've got an autopilot!

iPhone with Angry Birds will keep you occupied...

But you might want to keep your eyes open for the first pass around the field...
I thought I had a pic of the control valve but I guess not.
