Okay well I’m back with a few more questions I’m having a hard time get much help from SITECH.
Get used to it. It's early spring in the US, people are getting going on jobs, and my rep thinks now is a good time to send their techs/support guys on a training excursion. I mean seriously, what the f**k?
First are these systems setup kind of like the newe systems where they have main fall sensors and rotation sensors and if so will the newer sensors work with this system?
Not sure I understand this question.
And does anyone know where to get the different wiring harnesses need for the system?
I understand what you're trying to do here, and I'm telling you, be careful. You go to piecing together a system with parts that aren't compatible and you don't know it until you have $20k sunk into the deal, you're gonna regret it. Unfortunately the Sitech folks understandabley arent much for helping you do this type of thing, because they obviously want to sell you a new setup.
I’m trying to get this setup for basically indication only and then if I decided to move into a newer system I’d look in to ful blade control.
There are different codes injected into the displays based on what capabilities you want out of it, all of which vary in price. For example, indicate only costs less money than full control, also the price varies if it is on just one machine, IE you could only put it on your dozer, or all machines, IE you could put it on dozer/grader/excavator.
Something you may look into is full blade control laser setup. Sometimes I wish I had that instead of satellite guidance as it is better for working around buildings and trees and tends to actually be more accurate.
Don't be afraid to walk away from Trimble either. Give the Topcon guys a call and tell them what the majority of your jobs entail and make them work with your budget.
