Newdale, Manitoba, Canada | I should have clarified my previous statement about replacing the "big 3" every 2 years....we don't replace with brand new!
Last air drill was 10 years old, air cart - 6 years old, combine - 2 years old, sprayer - 7 years old (it's pushing 14 now! That's why it's next on the list!).
We've got a pretty narrow window. Seeding usually runs from May 1-21, but could be as early as April 20 or as late as mid-June. Harvest starts late August (hopefully!) and runs through Sept+Oct, but there's usually 3 weeks of wet weather in Sept-Oct. Field time lost due to breakdowns can be very costly up here! Also, farm help is very hard to find (especially good help!), so upgrading to bigger equipment is almost essential.
