What’s your thoughts on atom jet side band. More granular than liquid sold.
How much more tractor would I need to pull side band. I have a cat 95e and get along ok with 60 feet on 10” spacing and 450 bushel cart. Would end up upgrading carts

I have not pulled one, but hear they are a handful with the factory double shoot boot. 95E might be a bit shy on HP to pull at speed or in hills I would guess, is it about 400HP? Might depend a fair bit on soil type/conditions too.
My 60' 7.5" spacing P2080 disc drill is a dream to pull, 500HP tractor is hardly working at all even at 6mph with a 580 bushel tank.

Depends on soil moisture and conditions it goes from 50 to 85% power. A lot of this year was at 50% at 6mph. Atom jet says their side band won’t take a whole lot more power. Makes a difference where you put the fertilizer. I remember pillar lazer seeder guys were putting the seed down the disk instead of the knife so it would pull easier.
