Daughter and I have been discussing turning the duck pond into a circle track. There are a number of three-wheelers, 4 wheelers, small cars, trucks, tractors that could be driven I moderate speeds in circles. My brother suggested turning a duckblind into a grandstand. We have plenty of straw bales....
Is mounting FarmerGPS on a 1942 Minneapolis-Moline U an illustration of the term "Anachronism" or is it just an example of why we don't really get much done here at Lazy Farmer Farms.

GPS on vintage tractors. Maybe I should install it on my Cockshutt 40 to keep me from driving into the ditch with the snow blower this winter. How are you getting around the 6 volt system on that U?
ReplyDeleteRalph, it actually did not work so well. I was using a USB patch antenna on a tablet computer. I kept loosing the GPS signal. It was either the unshielded ignition or just excessive vibration.
ReplyDeleteWe converted to 12v some years ago so the 6v was not a problem.
I thought it was going to work quite nicely when I started. It was very hard to see my rows and I didn't really need two inch accuracy.
It would work very well to keep you out of the ditch with the cockshutt.
