We've been running a JD8320 with auto steer for about 4 years. It's a great system and has had several updates which has improved accuracy and types of information that can be stored. The system allows you to use the same wheel tracks every time you work a field, so your compaction is localised. The reduced stress on the operator is another big plus, espcially when furrowing up and inter-row culivating. I get off an auto steer tractor a lot fresher after a 12hr shift! We also have 2 spray rigs with manual guidance and I would love to go auto with them as well. With so much technology involved and with productivity so important, good operators will be in demand for a long time yet. I would be very suprised if I saw a true all purpose driver-less tractor in my life time. No matter how many computers, monitors and things that go beep there are in the cab at planting time, one thing will never change: fathers and sons will always kneel on the earth, take out their pocket knives and dig down into the soil, just to make sure those seeds are placed just right. And get a little dirt on their hands in the process.
