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.

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.

Yeah. So we can talk, I guess, on the tractor side. Obviously you talked about balancing the machine, making sure we have those weight splits right, because without the proper weight splits, you're being a lot really inefficient, right? And so with the new high horsepower, for example, you'll notice we move things like the fuel tank into the middle of the tractor versus the back, right?

So previously, as you filled that tank up, you had more weight on the back. As you got lower on fuel, more of that weight shifted to the front. Throughout the whole day, your weight splits were changing and traction and some of that was changing and you were losing efficiency.

So we're thinking about those things when we're balancing these tractors and trying to move the fuel tank to the middle, keep them as perfectly weighted up as we need to. And then we're also looking at what application are we doing and what do we need for ballast? So we're always looking at that.

On the tillage side, I'd say where we're taking this is, okay, what's my outcome that I'm looking for and how deep do I have to go? And if I don't, I can go up a little bit higher, make sure that TruSet's maintaining that depth, and I'll be able to use less fuel use less energy and go faster across that field and get more done.
