| Your best bet is to contact your closest AL dealer. They'll put a complete kit together with all the wiring harnesses etc for your equipment. I just installed an InCommand 1200 and DirectCommand L2 on our Apache sprayer and it was super easy, the instructions are very well done. It probably took me 20 hours, 3/4 of which was me staring at stuff second guessing myself.
There's no subscription if you go for basic WAAS guidance, which is probably good enough for what you describe. Some features i.e. Turnpath (automatic u-turns) are a paid unlock. RTK is really nice to have for that 1" repeatability, but is a paid unlock plus a subscription although you can build a base station for around $1000 to bypass the subscription part. I'd say 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost is the display and antenna, which can be moved between tractors/sprayers if you want to use it on multiple pieces of equipment.
Not cheap though. IIRC the guidance only (1200 display, harnesses, 7500 antenna) were about CAD$25K but thats with Turnpath and RTK unlocks, could do it cheaper. That was retrofitting a sprayer that had integrated Raven electronics already. If you're using a tractor with nothing currently you might get a SteadySteer for even less.
But TLDR, contact your dealer and they'll put a kit together for you. I absolutely love the InCommand, tempted to replace our other tractors systems too but no way to justify the expense!
