Thanks , that explains things a bit better , but rangepoint must be way better than 150mm as that wouldn't be any use for drilling
Maybe some rangepoint users will advise the actual,accuracy

Thats not the case. £5100 and 900 for a trimble 250
Sorry! 750 lite is £1600 but does not do steering so £5100 for a new FM750 +EZ pilot .

My 750 and EZ-Pilot using Rangepoint will sit on the line flicking between 0-4cm around the line, difference to RTK is the time it takes to get upto accurate signal levels after starting, how quick it finds signal again after going under a tree etc and if you go away for an hour for lunch the line might have moved by 10cm, go away overnight and it might have moved by 30cm. Whereas RTK will be in the same place 12 months later. I use it for drilling mainly, with a strip-till drill its absolutely fine, even if your using a drill with more normal row spacings i.e. combi drill etc it will still be more accurate than any driver can be IMO.
ok , understand , think that's way I will go ,anyone selling let me know

There's one listed on Shaun Van den bos' website (part of Wright's Register?) .
2014 model for £4000. Probably not enough difference between new?

Warranty is worth a bit, as i had a system off Soil essentials and the 750 touch screen went wrong after a year and had to be sent away for a new screen. Luckily Soil Essentials lent me a replacement screen while mine was fixed.
With a second hand screen, you could be looking at an expensive repair!! Depends if you are prepared to take the gamble.
Remember you will need a steering wheel boss (platform kit) which could be £300 to £400.

But it is unlocked to rtx, this unlock is something close to a 1 k. So in total you have near 2 k difference from new. i f you negotiate well, perhaps it is even more. I bought exact kit for 3500 pounds last winter from a JD dealer.

Rtx rangepoint doesn't need an unlock code like omnistar or rtk. To get it you pay an annual sub of around £260 for the year. New screens did at one time come with a years free sub.
Depends when rangepoint sub expires on a used screen.
However Rtx centre point requires screen to be unlocked to omnistar for around £1500, then annual sub of around £1100. (For quick version)

Your screen is unlocked for omnistar which you don't require for rangepoint but you could could pay a sub for centre point or one more unlock for rtk.

It's GLONASS any real benefit? How much do they charge to unlock it?
Speak direct to Trimble I bought mine at Lamma last year. 750 screen with easy pilot and years subscription to rtx fully fitted to tractor and all operators trained how to use it £5000 + vat

£5k plus £500 fitting platform.
£5k plus £500 fitting platform.
Just had a similar price here. Was expecting an increase but not that much! Might have to look into the alternatives to Trimble.
Isn't that £6120 plus platform plus fitting?
