Can any Farmers help me???

[sambo123 676]

I work on the railway and came across this in a hedge bottom. Apparently it's some sort of GPS device for combine harvesters etc? Called a John Deere Starfire 3000. Looked on ebay and they seem to be worth a fair bit. It's in near perfect condition except a little rust on the screws underneath..

Any idea how I can find out if it works other than plugging it into a combine harvester which unfortunately I don't own..

Thanks, 

Sam.

These also work on John Deere tractors so if you've not got a combine just plug it into the tractor.

Its probably been stolen then dumped .. 

You'll need a dealer to check if it works

I'm no thief mate.I  work on the railway and literally found it in a hedge bottom at a track access. I assumed somebody had nicked it and stashed it as soon as I saw it but like most people would do I saw that it was potentially worth something and shoved it in the work van. Couldn't believe my eyes when I looked on ebay.

Fair game then.....however before you splash it all over the Internet you want to remember you might be handling stolen goods

I'm aware of this. Maybe it's knackered and the farmer lobbed it as well. Who knows.
