I don't farm enough acres to justify auto-steer GPS. I have trouble following planter/strip till markers in high residue fields. Any solutions?

I am talking about corn stalks in a strip till setup. Has anyone tried Orthman Twin Disc Markers and have you had success following the markers?

I have a little experience with the orthman twin disc markers. They worked well enough that I fabricated something similar for my next planter.

I can't see the marks without tearing up the field. We need a cheap GPS solution. I am going to try a Cruizer Light Bar with antenna for $1200. At least it is within a foot!

im anxious to see how farmerGPS works for picking p the "lost" marker. every little bit helps. i had also thought of mouting a light down low to cast a shadow, but it would only work at night and close up anyway.

Anybody out there having luck using lightbar gps for planting (Outback S2), using waas, not RTK? How do you set swath width to take guess rows in consideration?

I HAVE A 7000 PLANTER, IT IS HARD TO SEE THE MARK NOTILLING BEANS INTO CORN STALKS, i put on martin weights, that didnot help much, then I bought deere notched blades, that did not help, then I added weights to them , that did not help much. Also Ihave one martin spiked closing and there drag chains,sometimes they get get caught in the spiked wheel. With my yetter trash whippers, Ihave to put my dry fertilizer openers to far away from the row, otherwise they hit the whippers. I need some advice. thank you jd4020

Hi all, in response to everyone talking about using lightbars for planting, here is my reccomendation, learned the hard way. Using a lightbar without markers without auto- or assisted-steering is a no-no unless everything you follow up planting with follows the same rows as the planter. Yes, my rows were within a foot of being straight, but... You could definitely tell they were not straight. And it happened to be in a field right next to a road. This year, I did however use my lightbar AND my markers. Anytime the mark got away from me, the lightbar was there to keep me close, and once I could tell where the line was again, I was right back on it. Probably the straightest rows I have every planted.
