Case 3580 cart with Pro 700 and 750 GPS

I run separate monitors gps and cameras on Deere display and drill on pro 700, never tried cameras on the pro 700 but was told that the picture quality wasn’t great. Don’t see any need to have gps signal to the pro 700

We have identical cart in New Holland colors. I’ll explain what happened and you can decide if you want to go down that road. We were told you could run everything through 1 monitor. So we had one pro 700 running the gps in the tractor and the air cart through VT. It worked driving it around in field testing before seeding but once we used gps and actually started seeding it would seed a couple of passes and then the nav controller would throw a fault code and you had no gps steering. Key off and on sometimes it would come back sometimes not. Drill seeded just no steering. So we did software updates, though we fixed it but once we seeded for 30 min it would fault out. Did multiple combinations of newer and older software on cart and tractor thinking the versions didn’t talk to each other. That didn’t fix it. Then we swapped hardware out of combine like nav controller antenna and steering valve thinking it was maybe hardware related. That didn’t fix it. We’re about 5 days later at this point. Everybody frustrated. Next morning we get brand new software from factory on air cart. It worked for almost an hour everybody excited thinking it’s fixed then it faulted the nav controller again and we were back to square 1.

I suggested maybe it’s to much for 1 monitor to run let’s throw 2 pro 700 in the cab. One running cart and the other the tractor and steering. All of our problems went away. No steering issues. Our mapping was less glitchy and after the crop came up you could see in that field the 1 monitor side the start stop for the sectional control was a little off like 5 feet where as with 2 monitors it was bang on and we didn’t change any of the start stop times just running 2 monitors. It ran the rest of seeding with no issues.

There is a gps signal cable we made up to run gps signal from the tractor pro 700 to the cart pro 700. The cart needs gps to work for the sectional control. So I’m pretty sure you’d have to with your 750 steering as well.
Camera picture quality is ok but not great in the pro 700. You’d might want to try cameras in the Trimble monitor to see if you like it better.

Just wanted to share what happened here so if you decide to do what I did and it doesn’t work at least you don’t waste 5 days of seeding. I would vote you go with 2 monitors.

I like to keep one of the sensors on hand for the tool bar that read metal/no metal, if one screws up in can be a SOB to get folded or unfolded

It will be on a 865C. I think it is a C1000 armrest monitor, it has the buttons down each side. Do you need any software loaded onto the tractor monitor, wire harness? Cart has the manual switch box for the clutches and purge as well.

Hmm might have to give that a try. Love the tractor but it gets cluttered with monitors quick on the side bar then its hard to see the drill end going around sloughs and trees. Do you know if you can run the cart switch box and the display? Like my toggle switches. Havnt tried the monitor out, is it alot like the combine monitors, lots of pages and things a guy needs to thumb through?

That looks slick, is it easy to go back and forth from the drill to tractor? For some reason I like to watch my track tension and engine usage. Do you run the blockage of it as well? Those buttons would work better than the switch, hands already there for hyds.
