How does RTK work in John Deere equipment?
RTK in John Deere equipment uses satellite signals and base stations to deliver precise positioning for guidance systems.
John Deere's RTK system operates by receiving satellite signals and applying corrections from a local base station to eliminate positional errors. The base station, positioned at a known location, calculates discrepancies in satellite data and transmits correction signals to the machinery's receiver. This process ensures that the equipment's guidance system maintains sub-inch accuracy, enabling precise field operations and repeatability season after season.
