+1. There's at least on in the area.
We own this one it's been here for just over a year now, working very well for us.
Put 900hrs on it so far with no major problems.
Had a leaky final drive that wasn't leaking real bad but replaced under warranty, we called in NAND parts were in my shop 3 days later from Holland.
Boom stability is another great feature of the machine, the circulation system is awesome, no more priming booms in the corner of the field/fence row which the customers appreciate.
And the airtec system is worth its weight in gold (not a cheap option) but can let you spray in almost any condition since you can select your droplet size with whatever gpa you're running.
We run a clearance plus model and it goes up hydraulically with a push of a button to 79" clearance under the frame, so advantage of this is dont have to watch out for low hydro wires on the rd, overpasses we can go under, low bridges dont have to be avoided like some of the other guys have to with the lift kit JD's.
And it's lightweight, 20k lbs compared to a 25000+ competitor and 4 wheel steer.
It has FPT engine, same as the new case ih tractors with def fluid (unfortunately) and our local case dealer will diagnose if needed.
We do run the SBGuidance which was bought by Raven. Agrifac has their own system built by SBG and that can cause so e issues when it comes to solving mapping problems, we still do. To have a way to pull out "as applied" maps where if you went with a raven or Trimble you would have no problem, I am told it is a software issue so hopefully it will be so,fed before corn fungicide season.
Overal very happy with the machine and encourage anyone to stop by and have a look.
