Yea very few , lucky

Anyone running a P2060/Case 700 style??
What openers you use?
Of the 6 or so in our area. 1 Stealth, 1 Atom Jet, the rest are Dutch.
C shank, paired row, fert with seed and down the middle.
Bought with wore out Dutch. Didn't know better. Canola placement my complaint.
Really have to slow down with these too I think. Straw management more critical too.

our drill wouldn't fetch $20k at RBA, we don't use agrotain our ESN , maybe should , but it is working
3.5" opener spread is your arse saver , these atom jets are only 1.5" wide total , leaves field quite smooth
rode quad across a JD conservapack field , lord jesus , talk about rough , but never misses on growing

We win, our 5710 might not get a BID at auction! 3" BG carbide front delivery spread seeds well. Packers are 5.5" Tires. Field is not rough, spray and swath across rows. Will post pics of worthless drilled canola and $500,000 drilled canola.

Not everyone farms table top flat black soil rich in humus capable of holding moisture or in areas that moisture is usually adequate.

Some land with its topography and soil quality is more forgiving and kind than others.....

......example, in some places you could drop the seeds on top and they'd grow a crop.

We had a 40 foot "blue flexicoil" with "near rigid" (about)13 foot sections....well in my topography that wasn't ideal either

Western Canada's Ag land covers a large area and is very diverse, what "works" in one area may not work as well in another.

Nothing is so good that it couldn't be improved upon.

A guy here was looking for a good low acre 5710 or a 5810. His brother has a 3320(10?), he choose the C-shank, not because he didn't think the paralink was any good...... cost/price and budget sensitive.

Not many, more sold in wetter MB. Works with wider openers, 4" would help. Less packing force, works well if rains. Cost per acre is only repairs, no depreciation on zero cost. Whereas $500,000 drill....half gone in 3 years

I can’t see the reason to have singulation on a 3320. Just go buy a real planter.
