Don't think they have sold many drills. Only one in Manitoba. And sounds like he broke lots of frame welds but hopefully the updates has that fixed

 

[redgreen]

All west sales in rosetown had a couple on the lot before seeding. Not sure if they are still there or demo or sold though...

I believe full line ag out of swift current sold one to a guy by Stewart Valley this spring. Talk to Tim or Ross.

ML950 62ft on 12 inch spacing, 4" packer anyone using one ? Considering purchase.

 

[maninsilver]

There are 2 in our area. Owners seem satisfied one of them said versatile came and took the drill away and did the updates that he wasnt even aware that gave issues.

They look interesting has any one else seen one work or crops seeded with one? trash clearance?

 

[smjo]

Bought one this spring trash clearance is horrific

Welcome smjo, got a friend that bought one, first thing I said was trash will be interesting (mainly cause he was in a dick swinging contest about how much better it was than mine, truth is he bought his on what the salesman told him as he had never seen one until his showed up a month after purchasing) and to my avail it was worse than I thought it would be, in fact my friend isn't convinced it was much better if any than his 7.5" spacing flexi-coil

Why is trash clearance so poor?

 

[SWFarmService]

Not quite sure why it is so bad, I seen the short frame length and assumed it would have some probs but I never expected it to be as bad as it is, I would like to follow along beside it with the 4-wheeler and see if there is something on the openers catching trash, but just looking at it I can't see what would be causing it cause when it can make it through the job it does looks superb with absolutely no bunches or nothing

I tryed to take pics with my phone but it just couldn't capture what I was trying to catch a picture of. Just too broad of a pic for a 3 year old cell

Wow you can get a cell to last 3 years? Either it's a darn good one or you take care of your stuff.

I loose or destroy one ever 6 months to a year, so I buy hand me downs for 20-50$
