Trimble base station

[Thomas Simpson]

We have access (pay a fee) to a trimble base station to use for RTK, are we tied to trimble gps equipment for good?

Yes

Thanks Robt i will definitely look at topcon before i do anything. I just want to widen my options and not be tied to one manufacturer with that base station.

Case IH and New Holland have a relatively new network too which gives you flexibility over brand choice in future too.

You sure about that Rob, heard about a Rogator running Topcon talking to a RTK farming (trimble) base station. any truth in that??

 

[Robt]

It had a Trimble screen and receiver fit steering then sending an nmea signal to Topcon for rate and section control
