[QUOTE="Northern farmer, post: 7793367, member: 4568"] Fendt changed from Topcon to Trimble and Novatel. Currently however only Novatel available. I guess Trimble cannot deliver their stuff to Agco (concerns new tractor deliveries, doubt they would have parts for after sales). Fendt did implement the steering SW already during Topcon time. Also all section control and variable rate are done by Fendt hardware. The receiver type would not matter, Topcon, Trimble or Novatel. Just that the tractor needs a bit different SW for Topcon and some more advanced auto-steer features are not available with the Topcon receiver. Cheap Topcon receivers are available currently (need to come with the Fendt software, original Topcon or the MF/Valtra variant would not work) but Novatel could be a safer choice (as well as Trimble if you can find one). Topcon does not support Galileo or Beidou constellations. I would not consider any third party receivers where one would lose all the integration with other tractor functions. [/QUOTE]
