The X100 system can be improved to the Earthworks X200 or X300 that are full 2D/3D excavator grade control system designed for shaping complicated design surfaces and dual-slopes,.

The Earthworks General Manager, John Bohlke stated that the affordable Earthworks X100 greatly benefits contractors by increasing safety standards, eliminating rework and increasing productivity whereby contractors can bid on jobs with more confidence and reap profits.
