Midwest | tractorgear - 2/8/2024 19:52 How difficult or costly, or practical would it be for the farmer(s) to own the tower and transmitter themselves, even if dealers discontiue them?
It depends on how far spread your acres are. If you are pretty condensed you could do it with one base station. Base is just another RTK receiver w/ matching radio to what you have on the machine. (900 vs 450) Just need a power harness and antenna and tall spot to put the antenna. (which is not the globe itself)
So for another......$3-5k you could have your own base and never pay anyone any fees. Some even charge neighbors to use it to make some money back. Lightning is your main issue |
RTK phase out
