As with drey I spent 5 years in a terragator, the "cats meow" for custom apllicators! The only thing I wouldn't like from the very beginning on the big wheeled applicator would be those front steps stirring up all of the weed seeds and what not and then getting sucked into the radiator.

I had the good fortune to tour that plant also, the robotic cutters were unbelievable. Is the company still named Ag Chem?
