Agricultural GPS, Computers Driving Tractors!

Ever wondered how agriculture GPS systems work? You are in the right place!
In this video I'll explain the theory and practice behind agriculture GPS systems, and then I'll put it into action by spraying some weeds!

As a South African that wants to go work in America on the farm this video was very informative thanks.

Same here i may go over next year

Thank you. Very interesting

[@kimwilletts8476]

love the name of the machine lol.

Did you know that due to time dialation, satelites have to adjust their clocks constantly by miliseconds, sometimes more.

[@AgOpenGPSMagyarorszag]

they should be accurate up to nanoseconds :)

Can I ask you about all the hardware you are using and how much does the whole system cost? Thank you :) I'm looking at budget option like the onTrak right now to check out gps systems but this is obviously much better

[@thecrackpotfarmer9488]

Hey Dan, for sure!
Hardware, fm-750 display, ez-steer steering system (steering motor, terrain compensator) and Trimble's cheap antenna. I think this system nowadays will set you back $10-12k
The 75p is fairly powerful and has a lot of capabilities we don't use. A 500 would give you a color screen but with less features and much less cost.

AgOpenGPS, RTK accuracy ~1k $ :)

What are you spraying? I thought you were regenerative.

[@thecrackpotfarmer9488]

Yes we are regenerative. However, the transition from conventional ag to organic, holistic, or otherwise away from chemical inputs, is very long and painful. We have a long way to go. I have a video up explaining fertilizers, and I hope to have one up soon discussing Tillage, and then we will discuss spraying.
Have you seen the video I did on fertilizer?

[@theotheronetoknow5828]

@@thecrackpotfarmer9488 Is that the crystal meth addiction video? Yes, the transition. I was organic since 2005 and regenerative since about 4 or 5 years ago. Last year was.... the regenerative rep, who made more money coming around than the farm made, said all the 12 principles were here, haha, except the profit.
