Geez I am not the only guy in the country still running a 5710.

Geez I am not the only guy in the country still running a 5710.

Near zero value so cost per acre is near zero too. 21 crops, rarely needs any repairs. 3310 guys swearing daily, pouring $$ on them every year. Oh but no midrows so 70% less complicated.

Dont worry... I'm plugging it in with an old 5000/1720. Fill every 30ac. Spray with a 4240jd with 10k hours on it and a system 62 flexi. Somehow I still manage to bin a couple bushels at the end of the year.

Since I got married years ago my wife has always worked in Regina. She had a very good paying job so why not. No one suffered at our house. It’s what ever works for each marriage. Plus I had some trees arriving down south and she can plant them. Some need 20 people to run a farm some need less than a handful.

Decent drill but definitely high maintenance.

I plan on running this rig for ten years(at least), we are seeding the seventh crop with it this year.

We are a small acre farm and this thing will last longer than if was covering a pile of acres every year.

I will get my "depreciation's worth". Probably get good value when I dump it because it will be well maintained and decent shape.

p.s. just used your post to reply to, not targeting you.

But that wiseguy is funny.

Edit in: it's sixty feet and think it's still a size some farms will want to upgrade to. But I really believe the biggest will be hard to find homes for.

We just rebuilt the oldest drill over the winter and this spring. Helps having a mill rite in the family and he is fast doing bearings.

This drill will be used one more year or if I find a deal this summer. I want the mud one.


Ok here is our canola stubble.
