Sarah’s tractor gets an auto steer system from Fj dynamics … installation and setup

[@tim_g3478]

Sarah embraces technology, welds like she’s done it for years, chisel plows and has no problem getting her hands dirty! She’s the real deal! Great work!

[@ritchieblackmore5204]

Sarah you don't need autosteer your to goodda tractor driver, you've got the skills, you can already drive a perfect straight line, just like your dad Andy one of the old school.

[@FJDynamics_Official]

🤩Thank you for your support!

[@farmerbill6855]

Ingenious fix on the nut/socket problem. I'd have gone around the barn a few times before I came up with that. One of the many reasons I'm a big fan, well done Andy. Best regards from Indiana.

[@billupstateny9151]

With Deere being a common unit, FJ should anticipate the need for the adapter minus ruining a socket by boring + welding a nut to same. System is advertised as plug & play, so ship it as such. The ability to maintain steering telescopic setting should be anticipated, w/ included adapter components.

[@mikescaffo4850]

Beautiful job Andy and I see you had Sarah working with you she's the best keep the camera rolling

[@Darryl603]

Thanks for suffering through it Sarah! Great work around for the steering nut and the antenna mount. Knowing how to overcome the challenges makes all the difference. You made it look easy, Andy. Go dive in to the other box! You earned it! lol There should be a SIM card included if that's what the kit requires to be operational. Having to run around to supplement the kit wastes time and is a pain in the ...

[@johnrodgers7633]

Sarah is getting a little more comfortable on camera I see. She doesn't need to take a back seat to any of the guys. She is a very capable welder, fixer, and operator. God bless your family and may you all have a safe spring and summer

[@peteschiavoni]

That’s a cool system. Sarah will master it no doubt. Thanks for sharing.

[@apmedeans7905]

i think Sarah and dad work together amazingly shes a great worker as are all your kids Sarah needs to turn her frown upside-down she looks way more prettier when she smiles as always Andy you do a fantastic job explaining all the jobs that you do.

[@michaelrussell6661]

Sarah's doing a great on the farm. It is quite good to see more and more girls & women working on farm's these days.

[@roywaite5793]

Andy, now that Sarah has auto steer, can you talk her into making some video content for you/us? Maybe she could tell us about her life on the farm. (Her likes/dislikes). Does she want to make farming her career? Seems she likes doing mechanical repairs & welding as much as running equipment. Does she work with the cows in anyway? Great video as always.

That GPS unit will pay for itself in time/ fuel saved ! We run GPS on all our equipment and we prefer the johndeere GPS systems . Even on our case quadtrac we run greenstar . My family was skeptical about GPS but it makes working at night easy and stress free. What really sold us was using GPS when combining soybeans in dusty conditions you can't see the ends of the heads with GPS it's safer and more efficient. I'm sure Sarah will enjoy not steering once she gets used to the system. Great video keep up the good work!

[@jimclary7309]

Sarah will definitely appreciate it. That will give Sarah more time to video. Lol! Great explanation on how the system is installed. Shop door clearance going to be ok? Seems to be a nice system. Thanks for sharing Andy. Definitely catchya at the next one. Stay safe!

[@davidholder3207]

I'd fit one of those to my car if it could follow a google route! The last and only time I've driven a car on the road "hands off" was in 1972 when working at the Transport & Road Research Laboratory (TRRL), Crowthorne, UK. We used a Jaguar Mark III that followed signals from wires under the surface of our test track. The boot was packed full of mini computers etc. I roared around the banked curves at 80 mph while reading a newspaper! We also developed HUD's which I'm surprised aren't fitted to modern cars.

[@lgl_137noname6]

23:03 2 receivers suggest the system is using differential GPS to maximize the accuracy of the guidance. Given they installed further apart than the provided hardware, did you have to go a calibration procedure ? Does it achieve sub-inch precision ?

Believe sub-inch is more a marketing tool than actual reality. The tractor shift in soft soil can easily be several inches. 🚜🚜

Thanks! The customization to maintain the adjustment is great. The last video was a great primer for this one, well executed. Can you use your own GPS/RTK base station or must you subscribe to their RTK service? Just an FYI, the actual "reciever's" are most likely in the display. The UFO thingies are just antennas. That is why there are the fancy co-axial wires all the way back to the display.

Would have to use their RTK
