$25/ton doesn't keep a bar maintained??

You guys must have high standards.


No, it doesn't. I've owned two different nh3 bars, including currently a 5310. For the amount of anhydrous I use, the $25 is quite a ways under water. Hoses, knives, tires, valves and keeping the flow control system working correctly when running N serve doesn't really come close. Not to even mention the opportunity cost of the initial investment.

Maybe if I would start out with something in better/newer condition it would help, or if it wasn't getting used in heavy silty clay instead of sand like you most likely have, that would make up the snarky difference.



$25 ton would buy a good used toolbar and cover up keep costs as well.



You're smarter than that. It's almost completely dependent on how much you run through it in a year.




Bought CIH 50 ft 5300 NH3 applicator three years ago in Sep for $9000. If sold it today cost per ton to own and upkeep it would be less than zero $ per ton. Cost per ton has nothing to do with amount of tons run through it per year.
