Thanks Nick.

The Maistro sure looks impressive, but like you said, the price tag is gonna make a lot of people look the other way. I know I won't be able to afford a 200K planter. My plan is to build one very similar to this one, but maybe only 16 rows. Seems like it's built heavy all the way around as is reflected by the weight of the machine. I do like the big wheels on the cart and the floatation tires on the bar. Better than the dinky tires on the NA planters. One concern I havewitht he 24 row model is the absense of stabilizer bars on the toolbar. The whole frame is holding by the central pivot. There's going to be a lot of stress on those parts.

Great pictures. I will save them to file.
