CRG: AFFORDABLE RTK GUIDANCE

Jun 01, 2022

If RTK guidance was more affordable, then every farmer would be using it. Until now, the 2 cm RTK accuracy has been a luxury in North America that few can afford. Enter the newly released CRG receiver from Agra-GPS.

The CRG allows farmers around the world to use RTK guidance on their farm. CRG stands for Chameleon RTK Guidance because it is compatible with many different brands of machinery. The CRG integrates with Fendt, John Deere, CLAAS, CAT and Rogator machinery.

Fendt compatibility
The CRG easily installs onto the Fendt roof hatch
without modifications. It is then able to steer the Fendt seamlessly via the John Deere display.

John Deere compatibility
To make installation simple, the CRG is compatible with standard John Deere mounts and connections. The CRG works with the John Deere display to steer the machine.

RTK Accuracy
The CRG is capable of steering with RTK or by using the standard WAAS signal. Via the simple plug and play setup, the CRG uses the standard WAAS signal. For RTK accuracy, the CRG communicates with the base station via three different methods.

Bluetooth connection
Modem (optional add-on)
Serial / radio communication

The CRG is already equipped with RTK capability with no additional charges or upgrades. The farmer has to provide a RTCM correction source from a local station. This may come from RTK service providers or their own base stations. If farmers choose to set up their own base station, Agra-GPS supplies Emlid base
stations as well.

Agra-GPS offers a 1 year warranty on all of its products, including the CRG, which has been tested over 3 seasons. For more information, visit www.agragps.com or the Agra GPS Facebook page.
