Yeah, #Plant19 was brutal for sure. Guess I wouldn’t say I’ve seen a flood of the 6, 8 and 12-row planters hit the auction market. But definitely seeing the on-going shift of more operators moving into larger planters. Just yesterday saw tweet from CaseIH about expanding their Early Riser planter line model 2160 front fold 47R-15 split row and 24R-30 configurations:

Bigger, bigger, bigger…
