[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7708975, member: 42914"] Depends on your target market. If its just guidance without auto steering then units like Trimble's Easi-Guide 250 running on EGNOS correction are around £1500 new (half that used) and achieve sub metre accuracy. That's all you'll get in reality from a full rtk setup if steering manually. If you offer steering assist (usually with a powered steering wheel) then your market expands a bit and competing commercial products are around the £5000 mark complete. The main market over here on the UK mainland is for full rtk multi-function control with auto steer (linked to manufacturer fitted steering valves and sensors) coupled with auto section shut-off and variable rate application on sprayers and spreaders. That sort of kit is around £10k to fit to a tractor already fitted with the valve and sensors by the manufacturer (increasingly common) or £12k without. You are also competing with AgOpenGPS for those folk willing to DIY. Auto steer is the big selling point. [/QUOTE]
