What jobs are you doing with your steering system on RTX at the moment?

If your still steering yourself to lights on a screen you wont see any improvement from being on Rangepoint RTX over EGNOS I would think. Get a steering system going in your 7530 and subscribe to RTX again and you will see the benefit.
A nav controller and vehicle specific harness.

but why did you do a up grade, you only get what you pay for with GPS
Only got the sf3 from you because we're staying with 3m drill the sf1 was fine for us but yours was there at the right time
If we end with 2 drills going at some point 1 of them will still be on sf1
As you say you only get what you pay for and the OP will have paid a fair bit of money and is still only manual guidance so sf1 is a lot better than that and already has a steer ready tractor

NAV900 will only operate with the XCN-1050/GFX-750.
I assume you’re system is using the FM750/CFX750; in that case you’d need a Trimble NAVII/III controller and vehicle specific cabling.
If that JD model is not with ISO/CAN based steering then you’ll need a NAVII/III with the XCN1050/NAV900 anyway, so it’d be a more expensive way to do it, but you’d have a flashier screen I suppose, and NAV900 will support Galileo satellite constellation.
Chat to your Trimble Reseller or New Holland/Case IH dealer, they might have trade-in programs available
Most newish agr tractors (can't actually think of any current tractors that aren't) have all the steering components connected to the vehicles canbus.
It makes connecting third party systems easier (basically only two wires required).
In the case of the Trimble GFX 750 you don't require a seperate nav controller either.
The JD 7530 mentioned a few posts earlier is agr (autotrac ready) but it isn't a canbus agr vehicle so the harness
required is a fairly complex bit of kit.
JD's became can agr with the R series (although you still need an unlock from JD to allow third party control).

Having the ISOBUS socket on the back doesn’t mean you have ISO steering.
I was also thinking that ISO/CAN steering was introduced on Deere’s when R series was introduced (but couldn’t remember for sure). The last post confirms this.
So if your tractor is not an R series then it won’t have ISO/CAN steering and a Trimble NAVII/III controller will be required to “drive” the valve on your tractor.
