We've purchased our first bourgault drill, and the 6550 cart is run with the x20 monitor. my question is, is it possible to have the meters start and stop automatically based on our John Deere GS2630 guidance? We dont want to have to manual switch the master clutch switch on and off every pass.

Thanks all.

I can't answer your question, but you should be able to add the hydraulic pressure switch on to the drill if it wasn't standard equipment on that particular model. It's not on all models. It was standard on the one I used, but I could not get it to turn the hydraulic driven meters on and off on that particular tank through the Topcon 30 using the setup criteria in the manual. I'm sure it can be done, but the local support came up short on delivering the feature on time.

It's a very annoying feature to be missing when you're accustomed to it. Thankfully there weren't any mile and a half long misses, from daydreaming. Sectional control should handle that this spring, but I still insist the other feature needs to work for the parts of the job where sectional control will need to be disabled.

The X20 will turn the meters on / off automatically. The Zynx needs gps signal and then all you have to do is program the start / stop sequence.

And the x20 isn't difficult to hook up to the Deere gps signal either

alright thanks. Yeah, im not sure if ours has the hydraulic pressure switch or not, but figured the GPS should have the capabilities to start and stop the meters.
