I only have Trimble experience so limiting my response to those system options. You also don’t mention steering, guidance accuracy, planting or yield monitoring, so going to give two scenarios which can lead to those upgrades. Assuming used route since you are asking here and not a dealer.

Higher end approach - Used GFX750 (aka XCN1050) with high accuracy (RTK) and at least EZPilot PRO (or Autopilot/AMPD) unlocks. Add an EZPilot Pro SAM200 motor kit to your most used tractor (hopefully it’s the sprayer). FIQ IQ master switch, cabling and rate and section module for sprayer. If your sprayer has a Raven 450 style harness then a RSCM with 75503 or 88664 harness is a direct replacement. Second tractor and litter truck could have transfer cabling and antenna mount. Consider a cheaper EZSteer controller and motor to share between them if steering. If a CORS network is available, then the display can be unlocked for WiFi based corrections rather than annual subscription. Display. Steering motors and FIQ can be found in classifieds.

Basic approach - TMX2050 any accuracy, EZSteer or EZPilot (can be upgraded with a NAV2/3), and FIQ RSCM. Full transfer cable kits for TMX’s are inexpensive, so the other tractors can be set up to move the antenna, display and TM200 receiver very easily.

Both options use Precision IQ firmware but the GFX/XCN will be more current. Either option allows for seed monitoring. There are a few TMX’s that come without PIQ which I would avoid, but not totally eliminate if an exceptional deal. Cabling and user guides are your best friend when piecing a system together.

Photo is our TMX2050 running RTK VRS on ODOT CORS when spraying. Steering is NAV3 with SAM200 motor along with field iq RSCM with 75503 to Raven harness.
