Does anyone have any experience with these Trimble systems that assist on dig on grade? How accurate are they? How easy do they work with experienced operators? How much do they run?

Anything anyone can say regarding them I'd appreciate.

There are some videos on youtube that should help you, you can search.

At the same time, if you are interested, you can also search about FJDynamics excavator gps grade control system, which is cheaper than trimble.

We had a Trimble system when I worked for the government in an adjoining county. It was purchased with federal funds. We used it once. We were not familiar with the system. It took a good long while to get set up. It made elevation/grade measurements MUCH more accurate than we needed. It was put back up in the storage locker and has not been used since - to my knowledge.

Today - a similar system will run $3500 to $4000 - or more. It was not a GPS system - it used laser technology.
