I just got mine in today for my dealership, and already have people looking in to it. I love the track design on them.

Looking good. You could really cover some acres in a day with those 3 rigs.

I forgot to add that each one will be pulling a DB90 in the spring and a Kinze 1050 sof-trak in the fall. One will be outfitted with saddle tanks inside the tracks, along with a 420 gal. tank on the planter for starter fertilizer to plant our popcorn acres. All three units have 25" Camoplast durabuilt 5500 tracks, FieldVision Xenon HID, High-Flow 60 gpm hydraulic pump, and Deluxe Comfort with Active Seat, and are set up with the Greenstar 2600 monitor, AutoTrac, RTK, iTEC Pro, and iGuide.

I will have to get one and trade off the cat 45. Wish the tracks were narrower.

Where do you get all your silos and grain bins?

Thanks guys!
massey- I have acquired the bins over a couple years from several different places. I got the majority of them from bossenimp.com and some from standitoys.com

Hey Pierce, I have thought about it but I will end up with tires. Deere's floater tires are EXTREMELY popular around here, so I may go that route, or I may go with 700 duals. I'm leaning toward the floaters...

I haven't figured out the exact number yet, because I've made a lot of changes, but I'm thinking between 15,000 and 18,000 acres total.

Jay, I would go with the Floater Tires on the 9870's, they really cut down on compaction and are a much cheaper alternative for Tracks. Tracks are great for mud, but I don't know if I would want to be running them all the time on combines at least.
The 8345RT's will be a great addition to the farm. I had a chance to sit in an 8320RT, very nice machine.
