Narrow transport...

[Jon B]

I have heard somewhere that the law in Ontario Canada is that LEGALLY SPEAKING, you can run any width of machinery over the roads over the daytime, without flashers. At night it must be narrow and flashers.

We have run our 30ft beet planter and our neighbours 30ft combine header down busy highways over the daytime. Having said that, we are idiots for doing it, and we have clocked a mailbox or two in the process. It is not fun.

But neither is unhooking a planter or combine header, when you have another 30 acre field to do, and you see dark skies to the west. That time unhooking could be what puts the crop in.

Its amazing the dirty looks you get when you drive such wide machines - makes you check the mirror to see if you have anythin on your face

hey kenjar

interesting you say that about the krause/cat thing, i was in evansville at the cat dealer a week or two ago getting a muffler for our tiling machine, and found a few cultivation brochures which, when i asked a fellew work mate, he said they were krause. maybe that agreement has ended.......is there a possiblity of DMI filling some of the cultivation requirements?

......we have two krause disc here where i work, and although ours are old and tired, they do look similar to the CAT stuff

Pudding,
I don't know how the Krause/Cat thing will play out. Didn't want to get a rumor started, just that Cat had no info at there site on the tillage tools. Hey nothing in the product line-up on the Challenger as well. Have to go to the Agco site for that.
