As the title says, I have a JD 6930 which is Autotrack ready.
Could anybody quote me for the greenstar kit including receiver and screen please.

For use with drilling, mowing, measuring fields and being lazy etc

I know it's not a quote, but last year i bought a Starfire 3000 antenna and a 2630 screen with SF1 auto track activation. I paid about 6200£ for it. the 1800 screen was considerably cheaper, about 1700£ less. SF2 was about 1500£ extra if i remember correctly. I don't remember how much extra for RTK, as it needed both hardware and unlocks. Prices here is still the same i believe.

Ouch..
You'd have thought they would be getting cheaper by now.
Many thanks for your help, I'll have to wait a year or two !

They aren't getting cheaper I'm afraid., not unless you get secondhand, and then they are not cheap IMO.

S/h 2600 screen would be a good compromise to 2630

When i bought, it was about the same as a new 1800 if you could find one. I don't think much gps hardware was sold in Denmark before the 2630 was released. My dealer said that so far they have only sold one 1800 screen, and that was with a round baler.

Just had a look on Ben Burgess and Farols as there's often 2nd hand stuff to get an idea on prices. I see Farol( JD) are selling Leica?

I've a 2600 think really the only thing you'd miss would be the the good idea of tramlines spacing within drill widths, on the newer screen.

Start with the constituent parts, screen, dome new or second hand etc, and upgrade to auto steer , SF2 as you go.

The beauty of the JD system is you can just keep adding / customising with no need to throw any part away as you go.

When you throw the tractor away you find its as cheep to change the tit and screen,when you get a new jd with it on check the activation date,our 2 where from when built not when they landed run out a year early

Then you buy a motorised wheel kit, just like Topcon do

Or if you have Topcon on your mf/fendt/new Holland, just fit it to your next tractor for full hydraulic autosteer...... No messy electric steering wheel.
Just need screen and receiver to steer anything auto steer ready, Claas, JD, case, valtra, MF, etc....,
