About the only thing I didn't like about this new Kubota tractor I bought was the fact that it didn't have intermittent wipers. It got cruise control, ac/heat, tilt, CD/radio player but no intermittent wipers.
I know that I'm being picky about this but operating this tractor requires one hand to be on the wheel. The other hand to be on the FEL control and if there's not a lot of snow/rain it means you have to keep reaching up to the roof liner to turn the wipers off because they start to jump due the windshield being to dry. If only I could find something that would take care of that.
After doing some research I found a system called "Rain Tracker". How Rain tracker works is, it comes with a module, a sensitive sensor that mounts to the inside of the windshield that must be mounted in the area that the wiper sweeps. You can use the wiper system as you always did but if you turned on the included switch the wiper would only sweep if it sense's any moister on the windshield. You see this same type of option on Jaguar's and even some high end GM vehicles. Never seen one on a tractor before though.
The only down side to the system was no technical support from the supplier. The wiring diagram that comes with this don't really mean much when it comes to tractors so if your planning on installing one on a tractor be prepared to really have to think things out because your basically on your own due to the lack of technical assistance from the supplier.
If you want to install it on a car or truck there's lots of information on the Rain Tracker's web site. Great system though and I'm happy I got it.
