Got to spend a week helping Darren Bauman with the fall field work. He and his dad (Rosie's brother Loran) were combining the corn. To say this was work and dirty would not be true. The cab is very air tight and very driver frendly. After you get in the field you hit setup on the GPS, hit a button to save current location drive 200 to 300 FT. Hit another button to save that location, hit run, and a button on the stearing wheel. You than take your hands off the wheel and set back and drink some coffee. When you get to the end you grab the wheel, lift the chisel plow, turn the tractor around, drop the plow and hit the button on the wheel. again you let the GPS stear the tractor. You just are there to make sure it has no trouble. It beep when you get near the end to let you know it is time to go back to work.
This is the GPS screen and control box. The black box is the tractor. The line is the direction you are going. As you go done the field and hit a bump and move right or left the line will move that direction and the wheel will correct the tractor. It is just unreal. The last day I was just driving semi-truck s back and forth to the field to haul back the minnesota gold to the farm. It is a very very good year for this harvest. both the corn and beans. The week befor I delivered a truck to Stella NC> Been driving just about every week at least two days and a couple of all week trips. Bob (TBS)
