Leesburg, Ohio | If all you want to do is plant one pass, and not try to follow those rows at any later time, and if you can keep using markers, WAAS will be OK. If you want to eliminate markers, or if you want to come back on the same rows with a sprayer or other later operation, forget it, you will need RTK.
You will not be able to harvest with WAAS on the same rows as you plant with WAAS. Solid seeded (wheat, drilled beans) harvest with WAAS is possible if you set your overlap rather wide.
I planted for three years with EZsteer/WAAS on our 4450 & 12 row 30" corn planter, and two years with Outback eDrive on our 8300 & 30' drills and got along just fine, but had no expectations of following those rows with a later operation. On the EZsteer, had to use nudge alot to stay on the mark, but was better than steering by hand.
Went to GS2 and RTK this spring on both outfits, and love it. We replanted about 100 acres of corn, and literally put the replant seed in the same slot as the first planting.

New to guidance - Is WAAS good enough for row crop planting?
