So working on it, working on it. I think there's a lot of opportunity in the future, you know, especially with autonomous tractor. I think customers have got to figure out ways to get those gators around with them as they're moving them around. So I think we've got some opportunities to collaborate.
Yeah, no, great question. So, you know, we have a wide range. So to hopefully answer your future question, we have the right toolage tool and the right width for whatever tractor you have. So we have lots of options. With these new tools specifically, our MT series, we start as narrow, if you want to call that, as our MT5 or a five shank, 30-inch wide tool. Okay.

We go all the way up to the biggest, which is our MT11. And basically for every shank that we're talking about on that number, 50 to 60 horsepower is roughly the right number depending on soil conditions and how deep you're going to go. So, again, if you have a... A five shank tool, a 250 horsepower tractor would be about right to be able to pull that.

And then all the way up to our MT-11, we'll start talking about those high 500s to pull some of those wider ones.

Yeah, absolutely. So this MT series for inline ripper, one of the main key takeaways that we heard from customers is we want to make sure that this tool holds up. We're not having to stop in the middle of the year to replace wear parts. We want this to go longer. So that tool is actually twice the lifespan on our wear shins that our previous inline rippers had.

So if a customer was getting two seasons out of the last one before they're replacing versions, this one's going to go four. But also with that is, again, the adoption of some of the technology like TruSet. So again, that customer, maybe with a previous inline ripper, they weren't exactly sure how deep they were always going. Maybe they were varying that as they go through the field.

With this, they're going to be confident that they're holding whatever, 12, 13 inches deep at all times.

With this, they're going to be confident that they're holding whatever, 12, 13 inches deep at all times.
And, again, that makes a consistent tillage pass, which means they're going to have consistent yield across that field, allow water to permeate where it needs to go.
