965E that is auto guide ready.
What would be a decent, affordable system ?
Tillage, air drill, and scraper work. Grade control on scraper may be interesting but do not know anything about it.
I have an Envisio pro that I plant with inbone tractor and a CFX-750 in the air drill tractor. All on waas.
I think that grade control would need something with some activations and maybe some type of base station. I really don't know.
What are some suggestions ?
Affordable and grade control may not go very well together.
Affordable for tillage and air drill could be a factory Topcon AGI4 and run it through the console, should be able to find a good one for $2-3K, I have a good one for $2500.
Next step up is someone's CAN Steering system, Trimble, Ag Leader, etc...probably looking between $11-14K for new, depending on options. If you want grade control, pick the system you prefer and start there, likely Trimble for a scraper since I don't believe Ag Leader's Intellislope will handle much on a scraper, but I'm not real up on grade control.
You can likely find a used Trimble FMX with the WM Drain unlocked for reasonable, I actually had a customer ask me about selling his earlier in the week. That would be similar to your CFX-750 you already have
