    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about GPS guidance systems for use on tractors. I do a bit of contracting, mainly spraying and mowing. Can anyone tell me which make to buy and which to steer clear of. (sorry for the pun)

    I'd go to BritishFarmingForum about this, we are half thinking of a Trimble EZ 500 though

    Yes, I was looking at topcon at the show and was impressed, but the price is a bit steep. A demo is required, I think.
    John Deere are expensive also.
