    Thanks. They aren't cheap ($2100 now) but I peaked in on the blades and they are cracked out as far as I can see so something has definitely gotta change before something goes kaboom!

    We are at 300 hours on a 5000ex now without really any other issues so I guess I can't be too angry. Just replaced a bearing in the auger at one of the folds. Still the original chain on the bottom. Made me a believer in O ring chains I guess!

    And we suck out of full bins often so it does a lot of bushels. Would like a 7500 someday but 2100 is a lot cheaper than 21000!

    See you had a Brandt 5000 that you put a 5200 fan into. Is it a different fan? Worth the upgrade? Mine is totally cracked out most of the way down on one side so it definitely needs help. Brandt is looking for $2000 for a fan, but if it is worth the update it is probably worth it.

    Thanks

    Hi. I've only been using powerrich now for soybeans. Used it for many consecutive years in the past and the crops were great but I found my phos levels dropping in my soil tests and I was using 30 pounds an acre of 8-34-8. Never did any side by sides or anything like that so can't help you there. I do miss the low volumes now though.

    do you continue to use powerrich starter fertilizer? Have you did actual trails against 11-52, and mesz? I like the low salt index from using less P and more of it is available.
