I use it here for surface drainage work. I trust it enough that I set my customers up with it for surface drainage work as well. My static testing combined with 7 years of using it on my own farm for this purpose has led to this conclusion for this particular application.
I would not recommend it for tiling. A local base station will provide the highest accuracy and consistency. Being close to one of the MNCORS stations won’t be the same due to how the network operates. I have witnessed MNCORS have vertical positioning jumps from time to time. Not very often, but it does happen. With a scraper, it is easy to fix anything that went wrong due to a temporary jump.
For the dollars involved in plowing pipe, I don’t see the savings of not buying a base station being worth it in my opinion. You could still get corrections over the internet from the base rather than buying two radios by using a modem such as an Intuicom Bridge X on the base station.
Are you saying there is a way to set up getting a signal from your base station without another receiver? I would love to have a gadget that would allow me to set up my Outback base station and then to drive around with my pickup and get elevations without having to take the monitor and receiver out of the tile plow tractor.
