Looking for Massey Ferguson RTK subscriptions?
MF Guide can be supplied with different NovAtel and Trimble receiver options and a choice of correction levels. NTRIP is available on suitable configurations, but the tractor must have an RTK-capable receiver and the necessary activation.
RTK Solutions checks the installed receiver rather than assuming every Massey Ferguson guidance package is the same. We then recommend either a local farm base or Base-Free RTK according to the number of machines and where they work.
Key points
- Delivery: NTRIP over internet/4G (RTCM3)
- Mountpoints: nearest-system + per-base redundancy
- Compatibility: compatible MF Guide receiver with RTK enabled and an available NTRIP data route
- Subscription: one price for the whole farm (covers all equipment, not per tractor)
- Network access: access to all RTK Solutions bases via NTRIP
- Installation: PoE adapter included; the installed base needs suitable mains power, with battery and 4G backup built in
- Uptime target: 99.9%
- Guarantee: first-year satisfaction refund (return the base for a full refund)
Plug-and-play deployment
Install the base with suitable mains power and either Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The PoE adapter is included, while the internal battery and 4G connection provide backup. We then remotely configure the base and calibrate its position against the Ordnance Survey network.
- 1) Mount the antenna securely above the roofline, clear of obstructions
- 2) Connect the included PoE adapter to suitable mains power and provide Ethernet or Wi-Fi
- 3) We remotely configure the installed base and calibrate it against the Ordnance Survey network
- 4) Enter NTRIP details on the machine and work
MF Guide details we need
- The Massey Ferguson tractor and terminal model
- Whether the roof receiver is NovAtel or Trimble
- The correction source currently selected
- Confirmation that centimetre-level RTK is activated
- The modem or internet connection available in the cab
A receiver label and photographs of the guidance status screens usually allow us to give a useful answer without a site visit.
Using one correction source across an MF fleet
A local base can be economical where several compatible Massey Ferguson or mixed-brand machines operate around the same farm. The RTK Solutions network access is associated with the farm base rather than priced again for every compatible tractor.
For one machine or contracting work away from the home farm, Base-Free RTK may be more practical. Each tractor still receives its own compatibility check because receiver specifications and activations can differ.
Changing correction provider
We confirm the datum, correction format and fixed-status behaviour before existing repeatable guidance is trusted on the new source.
Massey Ferguson RTK questions
Is MF Guide the same on every tractor?
No. Receiver hardware, accuracy options and activations vary, so the installed specification must be checked.
Can a mixed fleet share the farm base?
Yes, provided each machine can accept the supplied NTRIP correction stream and has the required RTK features active.
