Is the flexi-coil pd5700 available in canada. Its not mentioned on their website.
New holland p2070, case precision 800, flexi-pd5700
Did a bunch of research on those drills before we bought it. We got a good deal on it to replace our 50' seedmaster. Its bigger than we wanted (70') but the deal was right. We put on the 3" dutch precision tips and are working on changing the hubs to fit on the flat free bourgault packer wheels. and this is where i think i will freeeeek all of you guys out..... Pulling it with a 385 quadtrack with no chip. 
. how is it doing you ask? if you do the math, a seed master with 3/4 openers uses 1hp per opener X 120 which equals 120 hp and this p2070 with 84 openers dutch says needs 2.2 hp per opener. thats 185 hp. Our first field was soybeans in sand set at 1.5" deep going 5 mph the display showed 44 acres/hour 0.3 gal/acre at 65% power usage. The second field was heavier sand with some wet spots. normal going 90% power and the wet spots were 105% power but still going 5mph. That showed 0.4 gal/acre.
I will update you on how it does on our heavy ground but so far if we can go faster in worked ground without throwing as much dirt as our seedmaster did. Where it surprised me was when in low spots with a lot of quack grass, the seedmaster would make a mess with huge clumps of dirt and this one made a far better job in that condition.
Will update as we progress and the weather cooperates.
