    Ingenious fix on the nut/socket problem. I'd have gone around the barn a few times before I came up with that. One of the many reasons I'm a big fan, well done Andy.
    Best regards from Indiana.

      @billupstateny9151 2 года назад +10

      With Deere being a common unit, FJ should anticipate the need for the adapter minus ruining a socket by boring + welding a nut to same. System is advertised as plug & play, so ship it as such. The ability to maintain steering telescopic setting should be anticipated, w/ included adapter components.

    Thanks for suffering through it Sarah! Great work around for the steering nut and the antenna mount. Knowing how to overcome the challenges makes all the difference. You made it look easy, Andy. Go dive in to the other box! You earned it! lol
    There should be a SIM card included if that's what the kit requires to be operational. Having to run around to supplement the kit wastes time and is a pain in the ...

    Andy, now that Sarah has auto steer, can you talk her into making some video content for you/us? Maybe she could tell us about her life on the farm. (Her likes/dislikes). Does she want to make farming her career? Seems she likes doing mechanical repairs & welding as much as running equipment. Does she work with the cows in anyway?
    Great video as always.

    That GPS unit will pay for itself in time/ fuel saved ! We run GPS on all our equipment and we prefer the johndeere GPS systems . Even on our case quadtrac we run greenstar . My family was skeptical about GPS but it makes working at night easy and stress free. What really sold us was using GPS when combining soybeans in dusty conditions you can't see the ends of the heads with GPS it's safer and more efficient. I'm sure Sarah will enjoy not steering once she gets used to the system. Great video keep up the good work!

    I'd fit one of those to my car if it could follow a google route!
    The last and only time I've driven a car on the road "hands off" was in 1972 when working at the Transport & Road Research Laboratory (TRRL), Crowthorne, UK.
    We used a Jaguar Mark III that followed signals from wires under the surface of our test track. The boot was packed full of mini computers etc.
    I roared around the banked curves at 80 mph while reading a newspaper!
    We also developed HUD's which I'm surprised aren't fitted to modern cars.

    Just an FYI, the actual "reciever's" are most likely in the display. The UFO thingies are just antennas. That is why there are the fancy co-axial wires all the way back to the display.
