[Josh Nuxoll]

I think its a good lineup

[Gordy Schultz]

Hey Nick it looks good other than maybe a couple more pickup trucks and maybe a skid steer. That is just my opinion.

[farmerguy]

I would change the 6 row planter to a 16 row. Seems like the planter are outmatched by the combines. Either that, or have a 24 row. That way it would match up with the 8 row and 6 row corn heads.

[jacoblarson]

I would suggest to have double your harvesting capacity in planting. That way if it gets wet you can really make up your lost time. Same kinda goes with your drills. You don't want to mess up spring planting.

[70ds]

I think it looks pretty good.

Great line up Nick!

Can't wait to see that 9650 Walker when she is finished!

John Deere 9100- Krause TL6200 31ft field finisher, 11 shank John Deere 714 chisel plow

Maybe add another 12 row planter?
another John Deere 7200 or

if i do add another planter, it would be a 12 row to match the 6 row heads of the 9500 and 7720. the 7200 12 row will be pulled by the 8650, and the other pulled by the 9100
