Morning all,

Anyone got any idea how much one of the above is going to cost me?

Have purchased a second hand 720 profi plus tractor (2016) so guide ready but has no components in the roof

Have found a AG382 Trimble receiver and a wiring kit but believe I need this nav controller to get it to talk to the tractor. Is that correct?

Anyone bought one recently? Much chance of anything second hand or will it be new main dealer prices?

TIA

If it was steer ready (Profi Plus) then the VD03 comes ready installed from the factory.

You're looking around £1900 or so retail, but that was a few years ago, so prices may have changed. Also no discount applied, which it probably would do if you asked your dealer for a package deal with a receiver etc.

Thanks, I'm guessing what had happened is the previous owner removed the VD03 to use in new tractor to save himself some £££ or was using a topcon system which if I remember correctly the nav controller is built into the receiver?
 
2016 didn't have the vd03 as an option so you would need the retro fit kit to add one assuming one is available
I think it was September 2016 builds, November/December delivered machines that came with the in house nav controller. Mind you can retrofit on 2011 and newer machines.

They’ve all but abandoned developing new features for Topcon receivered machines now.
