[QUOTE="farmerjohn, post: 443605, member: 2593"] I have had a Centerline 220 for about a year. I use it for applying liquid and granular fertilzer, spraying and seeding. Works very good. A whole lot better than a foam marker to me. If you are just dropping one line of foam at the tractor you still have to guess where the next swath is. My gps is accurate within about a foot. My biggest fields are 40 acres. I also have some small fields 5-10A as well as some small one acre odd shaped pieces around the creek and trees. I don't find it a problem to use it in these areas. As soon as I move to one of these areas, just layout a new reference line and follow it. I have also used it to mow with my 15' batwing mower just for kicks- worked ok. I can now buy 3 tons of fertilizer, set the spreader for 300 lbs/A and actually cover the amount of acres I am supposed to. Before I would have a 8-10' overlap because I could not see my tire tracks in the short grass. At least now when I calculate production records for my fields they are based on accurate fertilizer applications. BTW, if you buy one make sure that it has been updated. On Julyy 31 the gov't took two of our WAAS satellites off line and replaced them with two new ones. To get your GPS to see them requires sending it back for a software update. Cost me $20 [/QUOTE]
