    If an operator couldnt swath mine would have it. Mine wont use it. Sometimes makes finding his swath interesting.
    Anyone with an 'itis' or an 'ism'

      Sask3 when you can go straight to RTK accuracy for damn near what a Starfire yearly subscription costs why wouldn't you?
      now just hire a geek to make your 2630s use that as a correction and boom john deere rtk

        We bought our first auto-steer system in 2004 for a cost of 16K, our swathers were last, had EZ Steer's put on 2 years ago for $3800, wish I would of put them on a few years earlier. Love them when swathing at night.

          You know how jerky an SP swather's steering can be, how well does easy steer control it? Is it responsive or "lazy"?

          If it only has to hold it in a straight line may it's not too bad? Most new(er) swsther's steering is still tight.

          Costs get right out of hand when you plumb in new hydraulic blocks and include monitors. I am only familiar with the Raven products.

          They quotes are stupid even w/o installation.

            ez steer awesome on macdon swather, look online for the correct settings though, sometimes need to play with wheel base and antanae location. you need a good signal though, waas can cause the swather to wobble ever so slightly. you can buy a cheap rtx subscription for a few hundred buck per year, works very well.

              Were happy with our EZ Steers on our swathers, both mounted on Massey 9430's. We are just running them on WAAS and very seldom do we have to make a correction. Our EZ Steer seems to hold the line very good and is not hunting for the line. Don't care for the little wheel motor that mounts on the steering wheel but it works.

                Where do you buy a rtx subscription for a few hundred buck per year?

                    Cheapest I could fine was $350 annual subscription for Rangepoint RTX, which is 6" pass to pass and up to 20" repeatable! IMO save your $350 and just use waas.

                    Centerpoint RTX is 1.5" accuracy but $1850 annually, which makes the $2000 Emlid setup seem like a much better deal.

                      nope, rtx way more reliable than waas, at least in my area, waas has a tendancy to drop out and throw you way off line (hang on to that swather!!). Solar flares also can make waas useless for a few days of the year. I have omnistar on some machines, it is deadly accurate, but about 1400 per year. RTX so far just about as good. Id try rtx first and if not good enough just phone trimble for the unlock codes and upgrade to omnistar
