Perfect for the 3m combi👍

In truth there will only ever be a handful sold in the uk and will be a massive PITA for the dealers as staff will need to be trained on service and repair procedures, parts will need to be stocked and the eye wateringly expensive part ex will need to be rehomed.

Then a load of big shiny paint machines will be needed to drag behind it and on the day mid way thru the cultivation season when it goes bang the farmer quite rightly be screaming at the dealer for a loaner that will pull them to keep the job going.

Grand machines for prairie farming but as said in the UK it be a dealers nightmare.

I think he's trying to talk himself out of it by saying they'll destroy the equipment. The weight and no DEF will be tempting!
Wont destroy any drills or surely if he can go uphill same speed as on the flat why wouldnt you?
I dont get that farming idea over there yields utterly sole destroying but vast areas of land too crop
It must be v cheap rent or something else makes it all add up its beyond me.
Combining like 1/2t an acre far too often
I dont care if there est costs with a DD system running what 80-120ft drill widths look right but come on its one race too the bottom surely on very marginal land & a climate thats against you from the off. What do i know i suppose.
