My foam tank and pump is getting some age to it, so I'm sure I'll be updating sooner than planning. I don't mind using foam it's just Limited to only spraying.
Some of the GPS units are about the same cost as buying another foam kit.

Gps is good but all I have is a lightbar for spraying it just seems like it wants pinpoint precision I just constantly fight it. To me the foam is just a lot easier. Another thing worth mentioning I live in DE. Not a whole lot of huge square fields

Which ones are you looking at? Any future desire for assisted steering?

I used a teejet one for a bit. I hated it. I like that you can turn down the sensitivity on the s-lite. A lot of the chasing comes from the need of a gyro.

No I didn't.

I stop by the neighbors repair shop and he a quick show and tell with a pump he had under his work bench. He even gave me a few of the right ORings!


Hopefully this week/weekend I'll get to it.

I looked around at them a few years ago then I bought a different sprayer that has foam. I can just see it coming the day it stops working. I know the times I've had trouble with it I don't want to leave without it working I've gotten spoiled.

Nope.

That's good to know I probably would have considered teejet. I use their nozzle bodies and nozzles without any trouble.

When the tractor rocks to the left the controller thinks your of line. So it tells you to go right & you do. Now your chasing your tail to straighten it out only to do it all over. With a gyroscope it knows that the tractor just leaned and doesn't sent you chasing.

Nope.

I'd stay with a just a simple lightbar then. A little on board saveable memory is nice for when you run out of spray with an acre or two left. But not really necessary because your lines will be off if you're gone for long.

That was several years ago with their centerline 220. Other units may be just fine. You may like it who knows.

 

[czar800]

Thanks for all the info.

I guess that is better than the rear tire, We hung one in a 18.4.38 a few years ago. Took a bath before we found a stopping point!! ( tedder tooth )

Unfortunately I know the feeling of being rained on from a rear tire...

 

[czar800]

Anyone else ever went to throw their planter monitor under a 18.4 38!

That would hurt. Since I'm the monitor.

 

[czar800]

I finished planting corn and beans!

 

[czar800]

[jakethesnake]
