The Salford SS400+ Road Show continued through Michigan with a stop at Nutrien Ag Solutions in Breckenridge. Salford’s Mark Magee and Dave Gunkleman met with the Nutrien team to showcase the performance of the SS400+ and run the machine in local field conditions.
The morning started in a sugar beet field just outside Breckenridge. Despite recent rains, the crew found a few dry areas to demonstrate the spread pattern and field efficiency of the SS400+. The SS400+ was paired with a John Deere 800 series tractor, and operators were quick to note how easily the system integrated and how smooth the start-up process was.
“Being able to pop in and go is what stood out,” said one of the operators. “The integration with the Deere worked perfectly. It only took a few minutes to get comfortable with the controls.”
Bob, Operations Manager at Nutrien, also shared his perspective after observing the spreader in action. “I’ve been in this field for 34 years, and the first thing that comes to mind is how impressive the 120-foot spread pattern is,” he said. “We’re going to cover more acres in a day and do it more efficiently.”
The team wrapped up the stop with plenty of positive feedback from operators and dealers on both machine performance and usability.
“We’re seeing a lot of interest in the SS400+ for its efficiency and accuracy,” said Magee. “These tour stops let us show customers what the machine can do under real field conditions, and that’s been a strong point everywhere we go.”
The Salford SS400+ Tour continues across the region, with more stops planned in the coming weeks. Follow along as the team brings the SS400+ to producers and dealers across North America.
