$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.



First you said the $25 a ton tool bar rental would pay for the bar and upkeep, now you're talking about buying one for less than you think it's worth and you could sell it for more, potentially covering all application costs.

These are two separate things. Jockeying equipment has nothing to do with applying anhydrous.
