We just gotta be thankful we are not filling discers with 5- gallon pails. That ugly memory of winds swirling grain and fertilizer dust in our faces and eyes while viciously trying to rip us off the gang plank. Those were the days my friend, so glad they did end. Just saying.

I still use a set of Massey 360's . Cheapest seeding tool on the farm. I don't fill them with pails however.

[canolacrazy]

how about a set of JD 9350's. the thing would plug even if it looked at a knot of straw. when we got a 4430 with a/c I thought i'd died and gone to heaven.

The only certain thing about my farming career is I will never get to drive anything like that until I rent it all out and work for the neighbor.

You never know. I'm running equipment I could only dream about 10 years ago.
Im not sure how much longer u plan to farm but 10 years from now, one of those seeding rigs will be pretty cheap. It's amazing how fast the big stuff depreciates, big farms can't/won't run 10 yr old equipment

Makes you wonder with all these 60+ foot drills and class 10 combines who will have enough ground to justify buying that big. It’d be nice to have a 60 footer and massive combine for 1500 acres but even used the cost of maintenance on top of large payments doesn’t pencil. Out my way large horsepower is needed to pull even 40 foot stuff so to make a jump up to even a 50 would require more tractor. Currently run a 40 foot machine and a 425 hp tractor and it’s a good combo. Anything much over 50 I’d need closer to 500 as most bigger units have bigger carts. Could do with a bit more combine power though.

True but not all
One big farm in the area still runs 2 big ole 1150 Versy’s on their seed hawks . Still seed the same as a $700,000 new Quad .
Looks kinda cool watching those big ole girls out there

We worship the Steiger Tiger. Change oil every 2 years, charge the battery and not a stop- nada.

5-10, maybe 3 years from now, we will dial in the field from our cel phone and the tractor will seed for 12 hours non-stop. Vive le square section, sans les sloughs.
