If you can find a used 3000 receiver, it will work with both the 2600 and the brown box. I know this because I have a brown box and it works fine with the 3000. I've heard, but do not know first hand, that the 6000 receiver will work with the brown box also.
I picked up a couple of used 3000 receivers, and sadly one failed after 10 hours, and the other one seemed to come with a broken TCM. I plan to send them both off for repair when I get a chance.
I'm also going to do my own autosteer and GPS next winter, probably using BrianTee's AgOpenGPS. I am moving to a low-cost RTK system based on the ZED-F9P, and alas John Deere's price for RTK is a bit steep.
