Have a 2017 NHT7.210 that’s auto steer ready what how and where is the best (cheapest) place to source the nav controller and beacon for it

and what level of guidance is required for say a few hundred acre drilling per year and some grass work?

no experience of anything like this and the costs involved.

the other month CNH had some offers on screens and receiver kits ( rebadged trimble kit) come with first year unlock to RTX included. Was cheaper than dealing direct with trimble dealer, so might be worth trying Russels or Phil at Paxtons Northallerton to see what they can do.

They come and go on eBay etc, know some local CNH dealers have had stock, new and used, I got a 372 receiver off here so keep an eye out, but if it’s a bargain it’ll go straight away, pure luck I was looking when he posted.
Reckon the receiver will be anywhere from £500 (if you lucky) to 2k, nav controller I’m not so sure, don’t see many of them about, but reckon you’ll need £1000 at least for that.

If you've got a steer valve look out for a second hand 372 receiver and nav controller.

I got the above plus a radio for rtk on local dealer network. It is brilliant for accuracy downside is 800 quid a year subs.

Cost about 4.5k

Not sure if ravenhill would cover you but there a fair bit cheaper for 18 month subs.

It radio based so needs to be Agricar just now. Going to look into getting my own base station i think. Need to do some reading up in this section.

I’m sure I’m only £600-£650 for the newholland sim network rtk using ordinance survey masts . Has worked a treat so far since I got it for spring
