This is for the full set. I should also say that the mats are lighter significantly lighter than Weathertech/Husky mats.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
A $450k tractor. Versatile 570. Helping putting the seed in the ground right now. She's a big beast. We needed the 110 gpm flow. The auto steer is amazing. It's the size of a house. But drivable. Unfortunately the Def requirements are killing it for me. I had the ecu reflashed, now it's at 600hp. I hate buying from foreign companies. But John deere has priced themselves right out of the market. Case is now owned by fiat, so that's a no go. So versatile it is. Next is a $500k seeding rig by seedmaster. Farming isn't easy, but feeding 10's of thousands of families sure helps. Right now, trying to convince the GF to take the 70 acres I have for her. We're only 3k acres, my cousin is big he owns www.monettefarms.ca he has a quarter million acres. And yes, my last name is Monette. Hense the M of my user name, add me. Graham Austin Monette

I thought Versatile was from Manitoba? When did that change? We’re due for a new tractor and drill next year
DEF sucks but we use a ton less diesel on our DEF T9 than our pre-DEF Steiger so I don't mind.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Did you splurge for auto-turn? We got a shiny new drill this year with Accuturn (CNH's offering) and section control....oh my god, why did we wait so long. Seriously. Take half an hour to record a boundary, push two buttons to convert it to headland and interior swaths, and literally the only thing I have to do in the drill is lift/lower the implement at the end of each pass. It turns itself around inside the headland, toggles the meters with basically zero overlap, then at the end of the job, autosteer the headland passes. I LOVE it. Friggin spaceship.
Next up will be replacing the Apache sprayer (very barebones) with a NH with all the bells and whistles. Just gotta find the equivalent of a large inner city home to pay for it.

I know man, we have a JD 4730 high clearance, I would honestly recommend a JD over any other brand of sprayer. I am FAR from a fan of JD, but in terms of sprayers, I think you will quickly find NH and Case offers inferior products.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So far we have 30 hours on the 570, we have to play around with it more, but I agree, the auto steer is already a massive, absolutely massive upgrade from the ez-steer electric motor (driving the steering wheel) system we had before this.
Like, fricking caveman edition. The new hydraulics control interface is like night and day. Where is your farm? We're 1hr se of Swiff current. So far the Def usage is pretty minimal, quite surprising.
For the record, DEF is the acronym for Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Once Diesel engines get to be past a certain HP and displacement point, they require this bullshit fluid called DEF. It's a stupid money grab. The point of that is to "lower emissions" but how many emissions are created in making this fluid, or the logistics of container management when it is sold, and the containers recycled? Plus the logistical aspect of transporting it to market?
