Yeah he drank probably 6 beer on the stage doing his show. He had set 3 down on the stage right before he started but peeps kept bringing him more everytime he drank one. Haha. Southern Alberta hospitality!

The scary thing is that they are working towards a $2M tractor.

I saw a snake eyes welding account on TikTok and thought the voice sounded really familiar.

Yep same guy. He welds as his second job now. With TIk Tok, appearances and boxing up merchandise and shipping it out he is pretty busy with his new first job I guess

Some bigger farms in our area would love a 715. We have a few guys in our area that would run one. But they are priced out of most people’s farms for sure.

Currently off because of an issue with my back. Working as a technician, we are seeing more of a tendency to keep and repair iron as a whole.

They will be able to get the 18L 9rx830 Feb 28. Looks like new c series air cart too I’d assume bigger capacity as it looks way longer on rear tank

What I don’t understand is they don’t put big enough hydraulic pumps for people to be able to idle down the machine. Big loss in hydraulic flow at 1750 rpm when rated flow is 2200 rpm.

You must be talking green tractors?

Hard to say maybe they learned from the sprayers. since 20’ have variable speed pumps. Command drive equipped machines. Run 16-1700 rpm down field instead of wfo

Both are the same 113 gpm is rated at 2200 rpm on the Red ones too. I work for a Red dealer. They do have the back shift tech now but if the pump don’t turn fast enough. It’s not turning fast enough.
Change it from series to parallel flow & you can run at 1500, 1600, 1700...what ever you want and you will have all the flow you need.
