In eastern Canada there is hardly a farm left that does not have GPS system of some sort.
We are in potato country and we steer the implement as well as the tractor.
If I was buying an entry level system I would get Raven Cruizer II for about $1800.00 (depends on your dealer) and this will give you the ability to 'paint' or see where you have been and acreage counts with boundry mapping.
The nice thing about the Cruizer II is that you can upgrade to the Smart steer and have it control your steering wheel for $2400.00 'ish. You can also use it for boom\row shut offs. Although I think you are limited to the amount of sections (3?).
For $200.00 more on the purchase price, you can get one that is weather proof for open station tractors.
It's amazing all the uses you can have for a simple light bar once you have one. It's awfully hard to go back to spreading fert or spraying without one.
