2.5. Mounting the GPS antenna
The best position for the GPS antenna will
depend on the implement being used:
On front-mounted implements with disc
steering, the antenna should preferably be
mounted as close to the disc leg as possible
(Figure 9). On rear-mounted planters with
wheel steering, mount the antenna close to the
planting elements (Figure 8).
It is recommended to attach the GPS antenna as
low as possible and at the centre of the
implement.
Be sure to provide a clear view at an angle of 20
degrees (in relation to the horizon). If the cabin
roof is the highest point, the GPS antenna does
not need to be mounted as high, depending on
how far it is mounted behind the tractor.
In addition, the construction needs to be rigid
to prevent the GPS antenna from being affected
by vibrations.
Use extendible tubing to mount the GPS
antenna as low as possible. If satellite
signals are interupted, the tube can be
extended.
