So it showed up. Since Deere partnered with Western, I decided to go with it. When i get it installed, will post more pictures. So with how i use my 835R which is driving fields & making boundaries & Guidance lines for farmers, i have around 9,000 miles on her. Didn’t see any leaks on CV boots ,, but have some slop I didn’t like. Whatever she’s got miles on But anyway. Would buy another Gator without question. Mine has Autosteer that I installed. Now you can get it from factory. Your welcome everyone. Posted a video when i had tictok of making boundaries & AB lines,, 2 months later Deere says we have integrated auto steer. Didn’t even get a hat. Lol.

It's a beast, great plow.

Nice looking setup for sure! I have used my Gator for the last 10 or so years spreading Anti-Skid, I would recommend putting chains on the rear. I will be plowing next season with my Gator for the first time. I just picked up a used JD plow needing some rehab.

Ya i have those all season tires which are great for gravel & highway. Soybean stubble doesn’t pole holes in them when im mapping fields. I’ve noticed they aren’t ideal in snow. Lol

Mapping fields? Do elaborate. I'm a GIS guy for a living.

Make boundaries for farmers & set guidance lines for autosteer. After we make zones of different soil types of the field. I will load that map into display an go check with gator to make sure they make sense. Or maybe there’s a sour spot out there somewhere & i can map that zone

I didn’t mean to take your thread sideways, but that is a pretty cool biz. Autosteer is a thing? If I understand the premise, you map the boundary of the field to be cultivated, then load that into an auto steer enabled tractor? then the tractor goes about plowing and such knowing it‘s coverage of till at one pass, until complete, within the set boundary?

Yes. That’s pretty much it. Yes farmers have been using Autosteer for 20-ish years Plant , spray, harvest using the same line. Just adjusted to match implement width
