Several loaded questions Mark!!!! agboy - 8/26/2008 18:28 Did Trimble ever get the autopilot working good on the 44-3320's? I have a 3185. That is the smaller series. They use a different steering valve than the larger series. I don't really have any experience with the large series Patriots. My sprayer is doing a pretty good job on straight lines. But I am not happy with it on contours. It is "too aggressive on contours. Trimble finally came and installed some different cartridges in the steering valve. That with a new vehicle profile helped the situation. I have not heard any complaints on the larger series, but that does not mean there may not be any problems. I would work with a dealer that you trust to make things right.
Will be running Insights if deal goes through, mostly on Waas. Will Autopilot run on a WAAS only signal like the Ez guide 500? can you get a Nav 2 with no GPS or just as cost effective to just get the 252/nav 2 combo? Yes the Autopilot will run on WAAS, Omnistar XP/HP, or RTK. Currently with the NAV2 you HAVE TO USE a Trimble GPS. The NAV2 communicates by TSIP and Trimble receivers are the only ones with that format. I would get a 332 (should be the same cost) instead of a 252. The 332 has a yellow box with a keyboard and display like the 132 had. You can configure the receiver without a laptop. I assume that you are planning to use the AL Insight with direct command to control the product and steer??????
