@trucknfarmer @ipaddockapps Having the flexibility to change the standard radio systems to something that suits ag is also an issue, getting everything working right for an affordable price is the tricky part 2/2

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@trucknfarmer @ipaddockapps Definitely alot of interest in this sort of thing, It gets very expensive depending on what outputs you need to operate different functions. simple on/off is cheap, i have found that newer machines need multiple signals to operate things like eng rpm and hydraulics 1/2

How good is it when they can no longer get through the fence and run around on the highway.

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@ron_werry @MSteel_CTS As each machine and application is different pricing can change quite a bit. Feel free to DM me if you would like more information.

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

This one threw some curve balls at us, Got it sorted. engine start/stop RPM control and hydraulic remote operation.

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@Rawalak_Farms Thanks for the feedback!

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@WolterSteven @MSteel_CTS Hi Steven, the systems are put together in perth by CTS, I do the installs and backup.

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@customsteelwork Nice fly cutter, what are you machining there?

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

Bit of a slow start to the morning, all set up and ready to go.

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

Getting the last few things sorted for dowerin, stop in at site 144 and check out the range of radio control units. We will also have the chaff sense blockage monitor on display.

[CHAFFsense @Chaffsense]

Headed to Dowerin field days this week?! Come down and drop in at site #144 down at the tech tent, and see one of our chaff sensors in action! Also on display is a new remote mobile control unit offered by @Mikecrisp636

@WolterSteven Hi Steven, I have sent you a DM

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

A quick video explaining the basics of the new system.

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@babart1977 @ipaddockapps It can also be moved to other machines such as seed and super bins for seeding and used to load sheep feeders with a chaser bin, you can open the lid and fill the feeder without having to go back to the tractor to start the pto

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@babart1977 @ipaddockapps Hi Bruce, current customers are using this to control tractors connected to motherbins at harvest, the idea is to load trucks more efficiently by operating tractor functions remotely.

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@ipaddockapps @Rock26Crosby Pricing at this stage is done specific to each machine setup depending on what customers whist to control.

[Mike Townsend-Crisp @Mikecrisp636]

@ipaddockapps @Rock26Crosby Hi Mic, there are a few options for different receivers. The model fitted to this machine is capable of switching DC current with relays or proportional control via CAN. Other models of reciever have pwm and 4-20ma outputs instead of CAN. If it is electronic we can control it.
