Subject: center pivots and GPS

With the democratisation of GPS, more and more applications come to use this technology.....
Having witnessed it's weaknesses, I would nevertheless be cautious when using it to control a corner pivot....
I just imagine what could happen if the signal is too weak or if the technology used is not precise enough regarding repeatability....I certainly don't want to mow trees with a pivot hangover.... Actually repairing such a pivot when the crop needs it most is what scares me.
