    Trimble or Topcon?

    It seems that Topcon 3dmc2 is usually a single Antenna system. Can you get this in a dual antenna set up? If it is a single antenna how can you run automatics on both sides of the blade?

But how much does the gps actually help an operator..For example can you take a operator with minimal experience and have him finish grade with a motorgrader or Dozer? or does it just benefit an operator that is already a good operator?
