Never had auto steering back in the 70s when I was working for farmers, but I do remember cultivating potatoes in a 4230 in August of 77 when the bosses wife told everyone over the radio that Elvis had died, 🤤

Thanks for videographing and sharing your ag experiences. It's nice to see aftermarket ag-tech that doesn't require expensive subscriptions. Looking forward to viewing future vids utilizing the auto-steering tech.

You really got to love technology when it can be added to existing tractors making them even more user friendly to the farmer, but when it fails UHG! But it still worth it.

Very nice video

“Ooo baby, i almost had a submission for stuck Sunday” 😂😂

That’s an awesome system that is great they make a system that you can upgrade your tractor so you can be more efficient.

Keep up the good work love the video

So smooth nice install

on our farm on our 7810 we run Outback GPS and it but its the oldest but in our 7130 we have newer GPS system and in Our Apache AS1020 we run the newest model of Outback GPS

The batwing sure does clean up the pastures, add green fertilizer and tons of fresh feed. Your first planting system saved the day on the mis applied fertilizer. Your going to sell a bunch of units one demo at a time. It's great to see smart manufacturers use great channels instead of agencies to market good products. Rhino Ag has to be most pleased with the way there equipment works on the farms. Super products. Now for JCB to make you a hell of a deal. Good luck

I see you've got plenty of those damn canada thistle too ! As a yonker I spent hours spading them out of the pastures ! I kinda like that Wheelman setup ! Great for tillage ops f'r sure ! Might even work for row cultivation provided steering lash doesn't prove an issue . Thanks for sharing !

You might experiment with lower tire pressures to get the tractor to ride smoother and less bumpy.

We farmed 1000+ acres in the 60's and 70's in South Central Iowa with two JD 4020 Diesels and never had GPS or auto-steer and we got along fine without it. You don't overlap on field passes if you are doing your job. But if you can afford it and want it then it's fine for you to have auto-steer. I would rather put my extra money into things that make more money though .... maybe buy some extra cows or land or something.

Different strokes for different folks! The Amish farm without tractors, but I wouldn’t want to do it. The times they are a changing. After farming with auto steer for a few years, I wouldn’t want to be without it either. Maybe you can drive without overlap, but most of us cannot, and forget about hiring a new guy with your ability! Auto steer allows the rookie to drive as accurately as the guy with forty years experience. And since he doesn’t have to concentrate on driving, he might even pay a bit more attention to the equipment he is pulling.

@@mikelloyd2013 Yes the times they are a changing and not for the better. Like utterly ridiculous bull crap like computerized emission controls on tractors that will shut the engine down to save the planet from "global warming" if some sensor goes out. Then you have to call the John Deere dealership to get them to send a "technician" (they aren't mechanics anymore) out at $110 an hour to plug his laptop into the stupid thing to get it running again. Neighbor had a new green tractor that was giving him fits one day few years back. He decided he had enough of it went and bought an rusty old 1978 4840 a retired farmer down the road parked in a fence row 20 years ago when the 8 speed Jerkomatic went out at 12,000 hours and the Deere dealer quoted him more than the whole tractor was worth to fix it. He paid the old guy what it was worth as scrap dragged it home fixed the power shift, overhauled the engine and called the tire man to come put some new shoes on that old horse and put it work. I think he is still running it and the new computerized, emission controlled, plastic, POS went to an auction. LOL

For the newer models it's pretty simple: The first number is the model, the next three are the engine size in HP. The letter tells you something about the capabilities / price level of the tractor in the family. For example: The 5065E is a 65-engine horsepower tractor. When compared to other models in the 5 family of tractors, the 5065E has fewer capabilities while a 5065M has greater capabilities. How the old system used to work is a mystery to me. I don't think there really was any logic behind it back then.

how old of a tractor can you use the wheelman /?

Ryan have you ever thought of getting a Massey Ferguson tractor or another brand. I think I'm have to take a look at the wheelman website for our 4630. Love the videos. Keep up the great work Ryan

Straight from their site; Wheelman can autosteer straight, contour, and pivot paths. We’re adding new paths all the time to the free Whirl app used to control your Wheelman.

Older grass will send out seed stalks and it's tough with less nutrition as well. Cows will leave it alone and prefer other plants since they now have that choice. Mowing resets the entire pasture to produce tender plants and cows will tend to graze more uniformly then.
