Good info thanks furrow. This machine has a place on half the farm like I said earlier. Keep one drill sell one and maybe downsize a four wheel drive.

Third thing this week is Equipment and our bullshit Pollution shit on Tractors vs Tractors going to other places that have none of this shit on because their construes maybe talk about climate change and do nothing because they realize it will kill their economy. Just check out other places and you will see that North American Manufactures are shipping new equipment to these places for way less money than we pay and they are basic brand new tractors etc with none of the bullshit on. Funny at the farm show now that Versatile has to add the Carbon emissions engines they are the same price as Deere NH or Case.

Just to clarify a common misconception, the emissions systems are entirely aimed at removing actual particulate pollutants, nothing to do with capturing life giving CO2, unless of course your tractor has a tree growing inside the giant muffler?

Yes, the emissions systems are adding huge costs, complexity, and lack of reliability to modern diesels, but at least they are removing known carcinogens, and while completely irrelevant to an isolated tractor in the country, in heavy city traffic, the diesel exhaust is a large component of the smog.

Most of those carcinogens could be eliminated with bio diesel .... without all this b/S we deal with now

Alberta when a new sprayer in Argentina is $175000 us and a new one in canada is $400000 US were not even on the same page any more. Plus they get two crops in a year and in Canada its one. I still cant grow winter barley in snow.


JT new tax will screw us even more and make us way less competitive.

Interesting Klause, thanks for posting.

No question planters, singulation, etc will be the next step forward for western Canadian farmers. I hope our local manufactures get up to speed quick and competitive. I’m not going to be the early adapter on off shore equipment (monitors, parts, support etc). With the currency differential maybe with will never be competitive?

Dyker put your Humic with the fert., 100x more effective

I expect there are afew other differences to make that big a price difference, perhaps try specing out a new sprayer with less cup holders/beverage coolers, no leather seat.

[furrowtickler]

For a new sprayer here at $400,000 , there will be few options on that .
For the cup holders and beverage cooler with a 1200 gal tank and 120 ft that would be closer to $600,000
The $400,000 will be the basic

[LEP]

Furrow, approximately how many hp per ft? If I try a planter for canola I want to get something small enough my 210hp mfwd will work. Then if I am convinced it has a fit, I will size up the outfit to meet my entire needs. We have quite a few hills so we would need to account for that.

[furrowtickler]

LEP
You should be fine at around 6 mph .
you will need a good 40 gal hydraulics or better regardless of hp .
It’s needed for steady down pressure .
To go 7.5 to 8 plus you need 300 plus hp
