I am a farmer in southwest kansas. I currently run a 4830 jd sprayer and need to trade, however I am not sure if I want to trade for another deere. We spray all of our late season corn with our ground rig and don't want to spend the money on a plane. So we put the 18" stilts on our rig. I am not a fan of doing this. It is dangerous and that extra leverage puts a lot of ware on the machine. Along with that, I am displeased with the performance of this machine in row crop. We strip till our corn ground in the fall and the strip mellows out between then and planting. And of course we plant straight into the strip. The deere doesn't like to stay between the rows. I am sure it is because of the tendency to twist and the weight displacement. The ass end just falls into the strip and I run over corn. I have checked tow-in and I keep the suspension scissors tight so I know it's not because of mantenence issues.
I am VERY interested in trying a Miller nitro mostly because of the front boom. But no one in my area runs one so I don't have anyone to ask about one. I would like to know what people who run these machines think of them, especially if they have run a deere before. Do they track straight? Do they have enough clearance to not break tassels or shred foliage? What's the mantenence like? Dependability? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
