If it will let you, you will want to set it so that the light bar shows farther ahead of the tractor, say 8-10 seconds. I set it for at least 6 seconds out. It's tough to remember to watch the light bar and not the screen when turning around. The screens will always be a few seconds behind, but the light bar is always where you set it. If it shows 1 second ahead (factory default on a Trimble), it will be real tough to keep up, as it doesn't take much to oversteer the bar. Kinda like picking a rock in the middle of the field, vs picking a tree at the far end, for a guide.
We upgraded my unit from the Trimble 500 to the 1000 last year. It's a touchscreen and a lot smarter. But still lags way behind the JD system I've run in following curves (it still can't).
I don't think the Trimble systems are easily portable, as it has a box with accelerometers in it that has to be bolted down to the tractor. Depending on how hard those steer, if you upgrade to autosteer some day, you may need the hydraulic set-up instead of the motor on the steering wheel.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
