You referring to the boxes that attach to the back of a vehicle and then you drive the road scanning for buried treasures? It connects to a laptop and the screen will display anything buried.
That worked pretty good in finding alot of paved over manholes/railroad tracks when we used it in Charleston.

Starting to enjoy the w2100 a lot more.

Its does work like that Hoosier. That device Cary has seems too accumulate large amounts of data because it is so precise. Works nice if you can afford to sit around all day with it but....those 2100's are aight. Only reason the 2200 is something boils down to the V12

I see this an old post, but I talked to a guy about the 2000, 2100 and 2200 (or the new 200, 210 and 220) and he said it depends on where you are using them. He said he would take a 2000 for everything except straight highway work, and a 2100 for all the rest.

The W2100 is the most capable of that class in my opinion. The added HP because of that twin turbo set up is what gives it the edge. However it is true you can tweak them even farther if you know upper and lower drive dynamics. Its possible to go 7 miles straight ahead with one in under 10 hours. The 2200 will move a little faster but the rate of fuel consumption is staggering compared to the 2100.

The 2000 in a 7 ft 2 in, config is the best in its class, it can out maneuver and perform over and over. Straight ahead the RX500 can run away but the 200 has plenty of other tricks the RX500 doesn't. But then again, it depends on whose running both mills.
