        Nope, not as bad, those Cats(C13's) in the MF9895 and Challenger 680B were very thirsty.

        The seven cylinder(9.8 liter) Sisu in the MF9565 is better on fuel, but if you really push it it can get up there too.
        They went back to belt drive rotor, that probably helped alot.

            We are almost 2/3 done. 1000 of cereals and then the canola. Crops are good but not near what they looked like from the road.

            Still happy overall, even if we won't reach Townsend's projection.

              Yield comparison between Alieda and Viewfield? I grew viewfield for the first time this year. Have not harvested it yet but it looks good. Stands a bit better than Brandon.

                Just flax left, only 280 acres.

                Last year it felt like we had too much land, this year it feels like we don't have enough..... good harvest conditions will do that. Actually we could use more acres. No expansion since 2004, that's a long time already. Getting left behind compared to Industry trend. Have to remember the acres per combine ratio....I'm not interested in the next increment of two combines....that means almost doubling acres.... no thanks.

                Bonus is we don't pay land rent(any amount worth talking about...30 acres lol)

                My local reputation is I'm lazy AND cheap.
