I would no pay £520 for a single band GNSS receiver.

Not exactly apples-to-apples comparison but the ardusimpleRTK2B starter kit from Ardusimple costs 211 Euros and it supports GPS, Glonass, Galileo and Beidou and it is a dual frequency receiver. Basically the same performance as Reach RS2.

For RTK you need a static base station to create the corrections that the receiver on the tractor/sprayer can use. If you want your own base station then you will need a second receiver for it.

NTRIP is transmitting RTK correction signals from a base station receiver to a tractor receiver via the internet and mobile network, I stead of dedicated radio transmitters.
You still need a source of correction signal. Either from your own base station or from someone else's.
Some people use dual receivers on a tractor but that is a separate issue to RTK corrections.

Depends on how many cm......
I am unsure quite how to measure the accuracy to be honest, but mine seems down to 3-4cm... I think!

With NTRIP? It should be better than 3-4 cm.

10cm would be fine with meProbably is....However, as I still drive by eye, 10cm is good!!
Be good to know how to truth accuracy

Is that just with a single unit?
Which correction service?

Is that 10 cm for absolute accuracy or pass-to-pass? Actually neither way it does not give room for cheaper receivers.
You'll get 20 to 30 cm pass-to-pass accuracy with an Egnoss capable receiver but the absolute accuracy would still be of the order of 1 metre. Improving from there asks for some paid correction signal (e.g. Trimble rangepoint) or RTK (RTK can be free from your own base).
Some members here advertise better than 20 cm accuracy but check their equipment and check what their manufacturer specs say.
