What options to put guidance on an auto steer ready MF?

I have identified a possible second hand MF 7722. It’s auto steer ready so what are my options for getting gps on it, preferably with enough accuracy for drilling? I had been looking at putting a retrofit Fieldbee system on my NH7040 but if I go for the MF I will presumably only need a receiver. It’s got a fieldstar screen.

Any aftermarket should tap into a guidance ready tractor but I’d say a (Trimble) Massey system should work out the cheapest as it was in around £4500 more over a guidance ready for the full steering from the factory compared to £8000 ish for a Trimble GFX 750
there’s a dealer selling secondhand MF systems , I’ll see if I can find them

Thanks for that. I noticed today that Chandlers have some used receivers, not sure if they’re suitable as I’m not sure what I need. They are Massey dealers though.
