Since we are givin'r heavy duty right now in the fields. 480hp quad trax(overkill but we have some massive hills) 44ft seedmaster with 12"row spacing and 2100imp/gal liquid fert tank 350bushel bourgault air seeder cart. These are pictures of me seeding canola into pasture and hay land that we decided to spray out and direct seed into. Just thought I would share.

Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Esshup. 14 gal /hr or 200gal does about 400ac. We seed/plant 350ac a day or so at 6 mph. This Tractor we bought at an auction and it had 2200hrs on it if we run it to 5 or 6000hrs it will still be fairly reliable with good maintenance and not bad for repair bills. Burger. A 40bu/ac crop produces around 110-120 gal of oil. They also make Bio-Diesel out of it. The seedmaster and bourgault tank are both invented, and manufactured here in Saskatchewan. When we bought the seedmaster they only made around 40/year. They make them up to 90feet wide. Our tractor could pull a 60' in our hills but we havent made the leap to buy the bigger one yet.
