It also changes color if the rate is out of range.<br />Plus he keeps upgrading the program and doesn't charge for the upgrades.buddeshepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747323705664619491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527757877422839218.post-36280050909829527332013-03-31T20:11:54.870-07:002013-03-31T20:11:54.870-07:00I tried it on the lawn mower but I ran into the ga...I tried it on the lawn mower but I ran into the garden shed.

I can auto steer around the field for my second headland and then go back and forth the whole field by just pushing buttons. My sprayer even knows when to turn itself off and on at headlands.<br /><br />That being said, I didn't have to spend any money myself.
