Rave Reviews

Ehler Bros. Fertilizer, Thomasboro, IL
"The greatest benefit of the GPS steering with the FarmPRO system is the amount of time and fuel you can save…and fertilizer costs. I would say you can save at least 10 to 15 percent easily on fuel and fertilizer costs."

Ehler Bros. Fertilizer, Thomasboro, IL
"Our greatest savings so far is additional product. We're finding in an 80 acre field that we're saving approximately 10 percent product with reduced overlap."

Webster, ND
"Being able to watch what you're doing is the main thing I think. With the OnTrac driving, I get a chance to keep an eye on my cutting height. If I'm coming to some lodged grain I don't have to worry about it, I can concentrate on raising and lowering my header and reel to make sure I get all the crop. I can keep an eye on my machine, watch my gauges a lot more, and still take a full header's worth. I make better use of the size of my combine by taking a full load."

Sunray, TX
"Using the AutoFarm 'AutoSteer' mode, I can strip-till with sub-inch accuracy which wouldn't be possible in a manual tractor application."

Tater Farms, Hastings , FL
"Before we got this system, we used to shoot a field with a transit and stake it to mark the first pass with the bedder. Then, an experienced tractor driver would have to overlap part of the preceding pass to keep rows lined up. Now, with AutoSteer, I can send any tractor driver out there and get perfectly straight rows, without doubling up. It's a hands-free operation and relieves a lot of stress and strain."

Potato Grower, Becker, MN
"Before, we couldn't run two planters because you couldn't mark rows for two planters. We have a lot of drivers in their 60's and 70's driving for us and they don't want to learn a lot of computer stuff. But with AutoFarm, our guys learned the system in just 10 or 15 minutes, and now they love it."

Farm Manager, Stone Land Co., Stratford, CA
"AutoSteer is one of those things that once you have it, you wonder how you ever did without it."

Hettinger Farms, Philo, Ill.
Hettinger Farms includes 6,000 acres operated by Steve and his brothers Ray and David. They have two full-time employees. They grow two-thirds corn and one-third soybeans. Of the corn, 40% is seed corn, and 10% is food grade. All soybeans are seed beans. The brothers operate a tiling business in the off season.

Nonpariel/RDO Farms, O'Neill, NE
"We had to solve our row problems (in potatoes). If they were too wide, we had excess weed growth between rows. If they were too narrow, we were slicing some potatoes during harvest. And in the fresh market, any cut potato is a throw-away potato."

Cotton Grower, Glendora, MS
"It was great knowing that I was ready to go in the spring, but we couldn't have done it without auto-steering. Our crews were able to work longer hours for several days in a row, and they were able to work at night without fear of getting off line. It showed me that if I got into a bind on planting, I could run longer hours there, too."

J.D. Skiles Co. Inc., Distributor/Manufacturer of Liquid Fertilizer Equipment; Wholesaler of GPS Systems, Atwood, KS
"I found that it’s going to be a great new product, for both broadacre and row-crop applications."

Hetland Farms, Mt. Vernon, SD
"The RighTrac really reduces operator fatigue. Without doubt, there's less driver stress and you have more time to focus on the operation of the machine. There's a lot more of me left at the end of the day now than there used to be!"

Hattiesburg, MS
"Our peanut yields normally average about 4,400 lbs. per acre. If your digger is off even the slightest amount, you can lose a lot of your crop. AutoSteer will help us prevent that."

Corn, wheat and sunflower growers, Hugoton, KS
"We were extremely pleased with the performance of the OnTrac unit. It's all about cutting trips to a minimum to save fuel and manpower. As far as accuracy, with the OnTrac system pulling a no-till drill and on a WAAS signal, our pass-to-pass accuracy stayed around 3 to 4 inches pretty easily."

Sundance Farms, Coolidge, AZ
"AutoFarm has helped us realign beds over the tops of our driplines. Without the AutoFarm GPS system, we would have costly and time-consuming problems trying to achieve this. Their system has been extremely helpful and valuable to our business."

Tomato, corn, cotton and melon grower, Merced, CA
"The AutoLevel system delivers consistent results compared with a conventional laser-based system."

Watts Brothers 100 Circles Farm, Paterson , WA
"We plant 8 rows of corn around the border (of a circle). Then we plant in straight lines throughout the field up to the end-row perimeter. We're not wasting any seed because we plant perfectly to the edge of the irrigation pattern (center pivot)."

Dumas, TX
"I can download the data from the cab box to a small laptop computer. I can map every field and provide my customers with a detailed layout of everything that has been done to a field."
