Is it possible to find good used gps systems that would work on a John Deere 700H?

I would like to see a parts break down.
Trimble or Topcon either 1 would work for us.
Have a small preference for Topcon the dealer support might be just a bit better Here.

im sorry for the late reply bedrock I just now realized you posted here....

I bought a GPS ready D6N and decided against automating the 700H, my serial on the 6N is AKM if you have anything that would help me out I would appreciate it :)

purchased Topcon

We bought Topcon base rover. Machine control for both 700 Deere Dozer and Hitachi 270.

So far just love it.
saved $12,000.00 in staking 1st job.
lots more convenient knowing you're on grade at all times.

What, if anything, is available for surveying that doesn't involve half my gross income? I do a lot of drainage work and am inquiring what is available for walking or driving a ditch to find elevations of culverts, highs, lows, and such. Currently, I use a laser, but range is troublesome, and accuracy becomes an issue when you move the laser more than a few times. I do put in bench stakes to shoot off of when I move. I'm mainly looking to be able to get a survey done faster and more accurate.
