Furrow, there's a couple of Case planters coming up at Ritchie's
Rouleau ...I know nothing about them.

Price

I paid 135000 in 2010 for my Salford. Brand new direct from factory in Salford Ontario. Then my son and I assembled it in my shop in the winter before our first season of seeding. Was very wet in 2010 and 2011. I was able to pick up some custom seeding from the neighbors those years as all the hoe drills as well as my buddy's JD single disc were useless in the mud! Never have grown corn here so I'm an idiot on that topic. Lots of Salford in Ontario and areas south seeding corn with success. But then they do a lot of vettical tillage before seeding and generally thy get more consistent rain patterns than we do!

The case planters can stay at Richies lol
They are no where near what a Horsch is.

Be interesting to see what a new Salford is just to compare .
They look like a very good outfit .

Seen corn seeded with a seedmaster with the speacial corn rollers . Did an ok job , far better than a normal airdrill but not near as even and consistent as even our old JD planters .

I'd be interested in knowing what "lots" means. Planting corn in Ontario with a Salford or any other air seeder is an act of desperation when the planter breaks down. Even a worn out planter does a better job.
More and more here are even planting wheat through planters now and skipping the drills and air seeders entirely

One thing that is very noticeable as well is zero wheel tracks from spring even in wet areas and the smooth field finish . Very nice and smooth for grains trucks and fall spraying that we are doing now . We are still very dry and ground in hard .
Fields with any kind of wheel tracks from seeding and or spraying this spring / summer are very rough in this area
