Looking
for sub-inch accuracy and repeatability?

Look no further than Wright Implement. Our RTK network is up and running.

Your area not covered? Let us know where you're located, and we'll do
our best to install a tower near you (as long as you're in our area
of responsibility).
What
is RTK?
RTK is a form of differential correction that uses fixed points instead
of satellites for your correction signal. This allows the RTK signal
to provide repeatable sub-inch accuracy because there is no satellite
drift as there is with most GPS correction signals.

Why is ours better?
An RTK signal is pretty much an RTK signal no matter what brand you
have, and while RTK offers an advantage over SF1 and SF2 signals, there
is a big disadvantage in ALL brands of RTK systems - it's line of site.
In other words, if you can see the base tower, then you can get the
signal. If not, then you've lost the signal. However, the John Deere,
and only John Deere system, works differently. We have RTK-Extend. RTK-Extend
allows the vehicle to continue to move in the desired path as long as
it gets a packet of information (signal) from the base tower once every
15 minutes. NOBODY else in the industry offers this feature, and this
is why the John Deere system is better than every other system on the
market today.
For example, if you're planting using mapped-based prescriptions, and
you lose the GPS signal from the RTK...on our John Deere Network, you
keep on going with RTK-Extend, but on a competitor's network you stop
and wait for the signal to come back, or worse yet, you never get a
signal in that area, and you have to plant and drive manually.
