Southern Alberta | I have a bourgault 6550 tank and a Deere 1910 tank.
If the bourgault has the deluxe 10"fill auger, the bourgault cart is the only way to go. If it has the regular auger it is not as much better, but I would still buy bourgault.
Pro and con Bougault
Pro
Better auger if get deluxe. Very easy for one person to handle, easy to fill tanks completely and easy to unload tank
Easy to clean out and when empty bin light comes on it is empty.
Minimal metering parts to maintain and replace when worn.
Very accurate if you calibrate carefully.
Cons
Monitor and variable rate not as nice or as integrated into jd tractors as Deere system
Heavy
Cost more
Jd 1910
Pros
Plastic tanks don't rust
Good parts network
Nice monitor
Ladder up to tank is nice.
Very efficient fan with low hydraulic requirements.
Cons
Some engineer at Deere could not figure out how to put the tank lids in the center, so very hard to get tanks full, and the tanks only hold the rated bushels if corners are shoveled full.
No good place to stand or kneel when filling tanks.
Filling auger is hard for older people to work with.
Slow and messy to empty tanks.
No camera in tanks, so don't know how long you can go when empty bin alarm comes on.
