About CAD$850 for a set. That's what I use for centimeter RTK with my Agleader gear.

We're getting hosed.
But here's my handicap.
Instant over the phone or on site support with local RME. Low downtime.
GPS for dummies

Describe it please. Steering only?

Lots to control on a sprayer.
And sectional control seeding.

Theft is nearly every day occurrence in this area that absolutely no one will address... let’s worry about garbage from the US ... constantly. Meanwhile friends, neighbors , relatives and getting thieved almost daily .. but nope let’s bring up anything else with zero regards to Western Canadian farms to deflect real issues facing us daily ..... orange man bad

Agleader Integra. Ontrac2+ steering. Air cart and blockage on it. It's just the NMEA receiver supplying the position data. Section control and all that good stuff is from the Integra. My sprayer came with an outback system for steering and section control. It's ok. Swather and tractors have $300 RTK rovers each. Sc****r has one. Auto hydraulic control for the blade on a tablet. Accurate to the cm. That part was almost free. Keep pulling out the cheque book though. Those dealers need it for their palatial shops.

The deflection on real life issues here is sickening

Oh but Trump tweeted this , or said that . And the solar output in Australia is great ... who gives a phuck really ??? When one lives in fear that something might get stolen or broke into every single night ??
*** I don’t get it .

Oh. The base unit at the shop sends corrections to the net. I use my phone in the cab to bluetooth correction data to the rover gps. No radios or line of sight to worry about. Cell dead zones more than 5 minutes or so might make it go to RTK Float. Might use a couple MB of data during the whole seeding season. All that is free.

I was told by a jd mechanic that they can't be tracked as well. I think it's easier for them to take $21000 from you than get in the middle of criminal investigation.
I sold a jd tractor with 2600 to a guy but transferred my activation to my new tractor. It 2 phone calls and serial numbers and activation codes. If they are using your stolen 2630 they are either using it under your name or they have to phone in and give serial numbers etc to get switched to a different name (should easy to catch). Jd should be able to kill the activation at the least, making it worthless.
Watch auctions for them as well.
Did JD transfer your activation or sell you a new one?

Sorry furrow, I understand the frustration and I have no solution to that problem. I just am vehemently opposed to the gps tech screwing farmers get daily and took this chance to spout off on that topic. I lock my cabs at night with any equipment I have to leave on the field too. Luckily I've never been violated that way.

Regardless I hope they catch the absolute losers who stole your GPS .
Rural theft has gone crazy and absolutely no one will talk about it , why , because they think it’s insured and no one will pay ffs . We all pay in higher insurance rates . Ours has double the past few years because of the theft in this area .. great add that to the seed extortion and extra carbon tax ...... yup life on the farm so easy fml
