Agriculture case
UM982 for Autosteer and Field Repeatability
Agriculture RTK success depends on baseline stiffness, antenna repeatability, correction coverage, and repeatable row-tracking logs.
| Problem | Field machines need repeatable centimeter guidance and heading confidence at low speed, stops, and turns. |
|---|---|
| Recommended UM982 Setup | UM982, two survey-grade antennas, rigid roof or implement baseline, local base/NTRIP correction, and field log archive. |
| Antenna / Baseline Notes | Keep baseline rigid, symmetric, and documented. Avoid cab multipath and route cables away from power electronics. |
| Correction Strategy | Use local base station for owned fields or known NTRIP mountpoint where coverage is stable. |
| Field Checklist | Record base position, correction age, baseline length, row repeatability, C/N0, heading stability, and antenna photos. |
| Success Experience | The best autosteer setups treat antenna mounting as a mechanical system, not just a receiver purchase. |
