We have a Flaman pro with the conveyor
Works pretty good. I changed the little tires to flat free and moved the drive wheels up 4” - that way can unload 1300 -1400 by off tridem without moving Have to back truck up 4’ if you fill it right full
Hoping we have to use it to make 5-6 bags this fall

These guys are based out of Nisku. Worth following as they are having really good results.

I have a loftness and works very well. Built heavy too. Don't have the auger on it though since I only bag in the field.

We have only ever used the conveyor on it. Down own a hopper to use grain cart Just always preferred the bags to be at yard for clean up.

Had a few DJI videos pop up in my YouTube feed last week about crop spraying. Looked into it but we aren't allowed to do it in Canada.

Has anyone looked into it? Any updates going forward?

That what I read. Just wondering if anyone had more info. I was all set to buy one a couple nights ago haha

I was looking at them too, just shortly after the T50 came out. Might make a decent small business.

You can supposedly use them for certain types of forestry or woodland spraying, but seems to be a fair bit of restrictions there too.

Yeah I couldn't believe that people weren't using it here, and then I started digging into it and found out why.

that shitty, hopefully not to much damage, some pretty good storms rolling across sask tonight aswell. Could be a spicy storm season if the heat rolls in with all the humidity we have now.

I just want to get hailed out now. Gophers are decimating my mustard and chickpeas and cutworms in mustard too. Now the taps have turned off and not getting any rain. Thought this was going to be my year lol
