Nice pics! Good to see guys out in the field. But I hate to say it but that's a Ro-Gator not a Terra-Gator.

That is a brand of equipment is rare to see. I can count on 1 hand how many times I saw those in person. Nice to see one in action.

It is seen every spring and fall spreading something. I have heard that from other people as well. Just what the company runs which is FS (Farm Stop). They also run a 3 wheeled Terra-Gator and 2 Floater Trucks.

All the coop's and custom applicators here either run one of those or a case's. Very nice but very expensive..

Its what our coop uses too. Simplot has one as well plus some Deeres. We don't spread much dry anymore for row crops but we use our Valmar for planting grains when we want to put fertilizer on as well. Yesterday is blew on a mixture of Oats/Fert/Alfalfa Best part is about 5 years ago when the new moron took over the Coop he thought they didn't need the Valmar even though everyone used it. He sold it to us for $500 with 3 extra wheels and tires LOL  |

Around here Spraya Coup is the most common SP units to spray. The local Southern States runs a lot of them in various sizes. Deere is the next brand that is common for SPs.

Cool Pics. We put fertilizer on, its this magical thing called Manure. hahah, Works pretty good. We spread manure as well after the potato crop is off. The Big Dairy in our area spreads with 3 axle Houle Spreaders. The crops that were on the fields were corn the year before and this coming year is potatoes. You cannot put liquid manure on the year potatoes are planted. Our farm is the largest seed supplier in our state and possibly in the Midwest and have gotten Seed Supplier from Frito Lay two years in a row and that usually don't happen two years in a row. One to be lucky so we gotta keep our reputation up and do what is required. This also applies for table and everything else. You cannot spread liquid manure on potato crop, that is all I know. So we use a dry fertilizer spreading on top at the begining, then we apply it planting then one more time hilling when the potatoes first sprout out of the ground and for Frito Lay before they sprout. The Frito Lay stuff is very strict and no pissing around when it comes to them. Big crop, big money! |

just so you all know that ro-gator was made in my town just dont break anything might be alooooong time to gets parts Why are they a little company, slow, or almost bankrupt? Don't worry the guy that drives this goes extremely slow and I mean slow. He is an awesome guy when it comes to ammount on each acre. He probally isn't even a pound too high or a pound too low. He want's to be accurate and he doesn't try to miss anything or overlap. He takes his time but he does a dang good job! |
