hi.. we have a very old yara n sensor {has the square connecting plug]. however i plugged in the x20 and got the dreaded burning smell along with some smoke. Just thought id jump on here to see if there are any x20s out there for sale before i look about getting this one repaired. I read on here before somewhere that the x20s are trouble some and not worth fixing but our sensor will only work with the x20 im told, and we dont do enough to justify upgrading the whole sensor.

Your n sensor will work on a tablet that has multiple serial ports . Speak to Nick abbey digital Agri or Simon R who is ex PD
hi, i have spoken to simon and he was extremely helpful but unfortunately because my sensor is so old the x20 is the only unit that will work.

@turbokid we have an x20 unit , was working fine when replaced by newer unit, stored dry in the office, where are you and what’s it worth to you? Not much real value but probably better than getting yours repaired?

pm if you like

Hi @turbokid I've got a s/h x20 in a drawer somewhere. I only used it for lightbar guidance but it had n sensor software along with other stuff. No idea if it still works, I would be interested to see if it has a value but @chaffcutter offered his first.
Hi. Probably seems like a odd request but would you consider selling your x20 to me and posting it to Australia? We use them here for our fertiliser spreading trucks and need a couple of spares for the inevitable failure of our current units. Regards James [email protected].

@bravheart Our x20 is a series one so not suitable for Aussie kid, it says V2.2 on the label.
Yours might be right for him, send him a photo of the label if you want to sell it.
Thanks forgot about this thread.
Picture of the labels @Aussie James or was it @aussie kid (lost his mail somewhere). Let me know if it's any use.
