It is handy, GPS tracks work as well just like the MowerPlus app. If you buy the smart connector that plugs into your tractor it gives you a ton of information including a live dashboard to monitor real time tractor info.

 

I use it, but am not connected to the smart connector. I also use the MowerPlus app for our X series mowers. I sent them an email and inquired if in a future update, your usage and maintenance records could be off loaded into a .csv file to open in MS Excel. They replied that it wasn’t planned at that time but agreed that it would be useful for longtime record keeping.

 

Cool thanks for the input! I might check on the smart connector for my 1025R.

 

Not available for the 1025R. The smart connector is only available for tractors equipped with a CAN bus. Pretty much any that have a DPF /"emissions" system. IE: computer controled.

I have been reading about it as well. I downloaded the AP and shopped the connector for my 4 series, about $100....
I have not decided yet, hoping to hear something from a user that I feel is worth the $100 for the connector.

 

Biggest advantages I've found with it so far is keeping track of maintenance, not just on the tractor, but the implements that don't actually have an hour meter, and that it will decipher most ECU, TCU, ICC codes in plain text instead of just a random number.

 

Based on other threads that popped up at the bottom of this thread it looks like the 1 series doesn’t have the smart connector , however it looks useful if you have a 2 series or higher.

 

Have it on my 2038R and use it to watch the fuel level and soot levels. It will also tell me what my son is doing while mowing.

 

I have the app and also purchased the Bluetooth connector. It's a great aid to real-time monitoring as well as to scheduled maintenance.

My only problem is getting it to recognize my equipment PINs. It does recognize my tractor and the loader. Buy my iMatch and pallet forks are not recognized. Not sure if that's really important, but I wonder am I missing something? Anyone else figured out how to add your equipment by scanning the bar codes on that equipment?

 

Not yet. Mine had the exact opposite problem. I tried to input my bb by the model # and it rejected it. When I put it in by the PIN it accepted it but dropped the H in the model designation for my hyd scarifier.
