    Yeah you could say that. Technology has come a long way in farming and each year there is new gadgets they come out with. To have the ability to run up and down the field by itself using GPS, a guy can pay attention to what your pulling, the header in front of you and the spray booms and at the end of the day your not so stressed out and fatigued.

    Honestly I'm not sure about the model but I will check and get back to you.

    The sprayer JD came out with this year has the largest booms in the industry so far. The sprayer I used to run had 120' booms so I was a little scared of this one but I got used to it quick. The booms are made of carbon fiber so it is lightweight and stronger then metal but you don't want to hit anything with them!

    It would have to be a big one :D, Bob is a pretty good sized man lol.

    He started with this truck about 30 yrs ago, modified the truck for the larger sleeper. It is a nice setup.

    Bob is a Cat man.... but has a Cummins logo on the hood, with a boat anchor under it :D.

    Hope Melton got paid well for this load...

    Five days, 1000 miles, a 3 hour+ wait on the receiving end for unload, nevermind them mucking around during Driver Appreciation Week and turning my 9am appointment into a 5pm, roofing shingles and tipping the scale at 78k... oh, and it delivered to Denver.

    I hope they got paid because I surely didn’t.

    They made money off of you, not off the load. :/

    I'm old school. I prefer flattop sleepers, and I actually like them small. If I had a big house sleeper, it would be for either...

    1. Adult entertainment
    2. My motorcycle (good to see you ride again, @MACK E-6) but then I would NEVER go home.
    3. A portable workshop (If I had it to do all over again, I would have went to school to build transmissions.)

    I was talking to Shooter about it...

    I don’t know how they make money on this crap. I don’t get it.
