    Vertical Height Compensation for GPS Grade Control Systems

    Hi all, For those guys who are using GNSS GPS for grade control and have had enough of the constant "drift" you get all day and night, I just want to put this out there that we have a solution to your problems. In my experience every GPS receiver does this and the constant changes in...

    Small Dolly paddle Scraper

    Have you guys ever heard of a Lehmann scraper? About 30 years ago at the North Queensland Field Days in Australia an old guy (when I was 19 anyone over 40 was OLD) was running around with an old grey fregie (kero driven I think) and he had what I remember to be a 4 yard elevating scraper bowl...

    Trimble Laser-Augmented GCS900 System

    Has anyone had any experience with the laser-augmented GCS900 system? I am mainly interested in what the reliability and practicality is of using the system. There are no laser augmented systems here that I can go and look at that I know of. I have an application that requires laser quality...

    Need GPS Equipment Help!

    This really all depends on your acceptable tollerances for "accuracy". In my mobile field drainage and grading applications the Trimble Ag RTK GNSS I use is more stable and way more repeatable than any laser transmitter, especially when distance becomes involved and I've been using lasers...

    tractor pans or scrapers which do you like better

    ...don't also forget that the weight of the machine has to be pulled around as well. Just because it is HEAVY, doesn't mean it will load or travel any quicker or easier than a lighter machine - depends on the type of material you work in and the ground conditions. I've seen projects where the...

    Operators confirm Topcon's claim of 200% faster dozer fine grading

    ....but is it accurate at the increased speed.......................or is it simply just smoothing out the blade responses. Does this mean that the practical reality of a hydraulic response latency becomes a non-issue?

    Case IH Steiger tractors........

    Hi BigJim - bought it off Craig last December. He still has 2 623G's that are gathering dust. Funny that I sat on this machine with Rod before it ever had too many loads of dirt in it many, many years ago. About the Trimble 3-D GNSS levelling system - ask anyone who uses it and you find you will...

    Case IH Steiger tractors........

    It's a Cat 3406C Industrial engine - 460hp. It is matched nicely with the Allison and hangs on pretty well to 1500 rpm before the converter kicks in. Only uses 50 litres (13 US gallons I think) / hour. A lot better than the STX working beside me at the moment, also pulling a scraper. I have been...

    Case IH Steiger tractors........

    Basically correct, but a lot heavier built than the ag tractors i,e, artic pins and bearings, hydraulics, cooling etc.

    Case IH Steiger tractors........

    hey stovepipe, Waltanna used to make tractors for some of the major companies earlier in the piece. They were originally blue like the Ford's but this one has had a face lift. This model was a dedicated scraper tractor. Simple, tough, heavy, smooth to sit in and easy to operate. You won't find...

    Trimble or Topcon?

    I don't understand any of this at all. My experience is that the Trimble GNSS solution is definitely more accurate and repeatable than the GPS only one - especially since we installed the latest V4.0 software into our Trimble GNSS receivers and bases earlier this year. I think there are...

    Case IH Steiger tractors........

    Single tyres like these (37.25x35 Michelin radials at 20psi) work in just about any conditions and the ride is far easier on the kidneys than all the ag tyres on tractors pulling scrapers I've ever driven over 25 years - duals or single.
