Have a question about agricultural technology? We have the answer at Deep Sand Tech. Check out these FAQs and call or text today for more information!

  • What does RTK stand for?

    RTK stands for "Real-Time Kinematic." It establishes a highly accurate reference point (or "pin") in the world, which the autosteer system uses to receive precise corrections. This ensures superior accuracy and repeatability year after year.

  • Why would I want RTK?

    RTK is the most accurate option available and the only one that ensures repeatable guidance lines. Other signals can drift throughout the day, requiring overlap to avoid streaks, which wastes time and increases costs.

  • Is the autosteering system hard to install? Will I need to hire someone to install it?

    Over 95 percent of our farmers do the installation themselves with our installation manuals, videos, and remote support! For those wanting someone to install the system, we have that option in many locations as well!

  • Is the autosteering and guidance system easy to run?

    We actually helped develop the user interface to ensure that it was the most simple and easy-to-use system that every farmer can easily run. We have many videos and manuals that also help explain all our features!

  • What kind of customer service and technical support comes with these systems? What does it cost?

    Deep Sand Technology builds in their customer service and technical support in the cost of the system so farmers get the total price upfront. We believe the remote support we offer to all our farmers is the best on the market!


    We are able to help farmers get going remotely quicker than waiting for a local guy to come out and charge them to fix simple issues. We also offer support outside of traditional business hours. We know many farmers are out working outside of 9-5, so we make sure we still give you support!

  • What if I get the system and I don't like it?

    We offer a buy-back guarantee. If you install and use the system and it's not what you want or need pack it all back up and we will refund you!

  • Will the systems work with my planter and sprayer controllers?

    Our system is equipped with three different options when it comes to controlling different implements:


    • ISOBUS: Our system is certified by ISOBUS and can control ISOBUS implements on our displays.
    • NMEA: Our system can send GPS and speed data to any controller that is equipped with a NMEA input option.
    • Radar (Speed Cable): Our system can provide speed information to any controller using radar pulse for speed.
