Emlid Reach RS3 is the Ideal RTK Solution for Machine Control, Ag Drone RTK, and Precision Ag

 

Multi-band base and rover

IMU tilt compensation

LTE modem

Dual-band radio

 

from C$3,900

Accurate results even with large tilt angles

The IMU-based tilt compensation in Reach RS3 enables you to make measurements with up to 60 degrees of tilt while still staying within 20 mm of accuracy.

Reach RS3 continuously measures and corrects tilt in real-time to keep you on target. Ideal for water management machine control, field ATV surveys, and municipal surveying.

Affordable Accuracy. Finally

Plus Game-Changing Tilt Compensated Positioning

Rugged Design for Demanding Environments

Field Tested by Us!

The Emlid RS3 is built to endure harsh field conditions. Its rugged, waterproof design ensures reliable performance in any environment, from dusty fields to muddy ditches.

Rapid Fix. Reliable Performance. Simple Operation

Field Tested by Us!

Gets RTK fix in about 5 seconds. Gets it back just as fast if you go under an obstruction. Just as accurate as any other RTK system we’ve tested in an open field or rural environment.

Tilt Corrected Survey and NMEA Output Data for Machine Control

Field Tested by Us!

The first and only RTK GNSS we’ve found that offers tilt-corrected NMEA output for increased accuracy of machine control systems like Ditch Assist™ and Intellislope.

Rugged
and compact

126 x 126 x 142 mm
950 g

IP67

RS3 is waterproof up to a one meter depth. Silicone plugs completely seal and protect all connectors from water and dust.

Industrial battery

The Reach RS3 Li-Ion battery handles high and low temperatures well and over 2000 cycles of charging and discharging while maintaining its original capacity.

Ditch Assist™ compatibility saves time – auto power functions and continuous charging eliminate the need to climb on equipment.

-20 to +65 ºС

We’ve personally tested these units in the depths of Canadian winter, and the extreme heat of Central America, and can vouch for the claims.

 

Impact-resistant

The body of the Reach RS3 is made of polycarbonate and coated with elastomer. The combination of these materials makes your Reach RS3 drop resistant and ready for the harshest conditions.

Why Consider Emlid over Other RTK Options?

Compare the cost of Emlid to the cost of Upgrading your Ag GPS to RTK

We talk to many farmers who are very happy with the accuracy they get with their autosteer. They have purchased their auto guidance hardware from a major manufacturer, pay a reasonable annual subscription (or even get it for free) to get 4-6″ accuracy, and don’t feel they need anything more. However, when they consider drainage and water management, this level of accuracy probably won’t cut it. In fact, the vertical accuracy of GPS can be as much as double that of horizontal, so that 4-6″ becomes more like 8-12″. Not great if you are tiling or creating surface drains!

So they go back to their equipment dealer to get a quote on RTK. To their amazement, they first need to ‘unlock’ their receiver to be able to use RTK at all. That’s a few thousand dollars for a QR code or a short text message. Then, they may need to purchase either a radio or a cellular modem to get the corrections into their GPS – another several thousand dollars. In many cases, they will also need to buy a base station to broadcast the RTK corrections to their receiver – tens of thousands of dollars!

Don’t get us wrong. For some farms, it makes sense to go this route because of the value RTK can bring to the farm. Consider the reduction in input overlap and your ability to plant or seed exactly where you want to. We want to provide options. Upgrading existing equipment is definitely a great option for some. However, for many, we’ve learned that farmers would prefer a simple, low-cost alternative. An RTK system they could use for drainage work, and possibly to do some field mapping, or take a few shots around the farm to check elevations, measure areas, or mark important locations accurately.

We’ve tried and tested many options, but never been confident to bring them to market. It’s taken us 10 years working with Emlid products to finally be confident that this is a viable alternative solution that we are willing to stand behind. So if you decide it makes the most sense for you not to upgrade your existing autosteer to RTK, consider us and consider Emlid. You might find another company selling them online for a few dollars less than we do. But we’d wager they don’t have the background and knowledge that we do using the products in precision agriculture.

The Ideal RTK Solution for Tile Plow Grade Control

"I worked extensively with Emlid products when they first launched back in 2014. I even had some input into their early development! At that time, their technology of low-cost RTK was revolutionary, but came with many tradeoffs when it came to reliability. Emlid has come a long way since then. The RS2 and now RS3 receivers impress me every time I use them. Super simple to setup via the app, and most importantly, they just work. I've worked with a lot of RTK systems from most of the mainstream brands, with most costing 5 to 10 times the price of Emlid. There's just no way I would ever buy one of those brands now when I could buy a tilt-compensated RS3 for literally a fraction of the price.
