I am using a Trimble E-Z Guide Plus. I like it, but they take some getting use to. It would be good to practice with it in your pick-up or
ATV before trying to spray with it. They are very flexible on configuration and can be set up to do many things depending on your needs. I had to read the users manual several times just to be aware of all it"s capabilities.

They will sometimes loose satellite signal when you approach tree lined field boundaries. Just go ahead and guesstimate your turn and the signal will return as you drive away from the trees. You will need to set it up for some spray overlap, at least 6 inches, maybe more while you get used to it.

Flat fields are best but rolling fields are do-able. Reason, the antenna is usually mounted to the top of the tractor cab and as the tractor leans from side to side will put you off-line. As you use it you will learn how to adjust your steering to compensate.

I got mine used and would think used ones would be pretty easy to find because they are becoming "outdated" to many farmers who now have gone to autosteering units.

I use mine to spread dry fert., no-till drill, plant corn, you can even find the acerage of any field by driving the outer edge. I think you are making a good decision in getting a light bar as it will be used for much more than spraying.

Oh, they are really nice at night which may be a plus for spraying at dusk as the wind lies for the evening.
