Subject: Re: Corn head row guidance (pics!)



Chebanse, IL.....

We had one also in '07 corn harvest season. Ours worked just great. The few minor points we squawked (mfg wanted/encouraged input!) are being addressed for '08. I think they only made 50 units (?) for '07 & took them all back in for updates. We can buy them at a reduced price since we were all involved in "testing" for '07.

I don't recall the retail price for '08, but I'll try & find out. But, the big thing I can say is that they work just fine. We've used RTK-guided Trimble auto-pilot in corn combine for 2 yrs & it didn't work. Just too much machine wandering differences between the planter & corn head. Perhaps some folks can tolerated 1-2" off-row running on a corn head. We couldn't. The Truesight solved that problem. Be advised, there is absolutely no connection to gps of any type...it's simply a mechanical input for the autopilot steering. But, it works just fine for us...in '07 anyway.

My apologies for photo blurriness of control panel. I should've changed camera setting.
