Comfy tractor ride
The Montana 5720, shown above, and 5740 utility tractors come in two- and four-wheel drive models and are powered by a 57 horsepower Mitsubishi four cylinder diesel.
The tractors have a 16×16 synchro shuttle transmission and 540 pto. Both models feature full hydrostatic steering, a three-year warranty and three tire options.
The tractors are available with the Big Sky cab, which provides filtered heating and air conditioning for a low-pollen, low-dust environment.
The seat has adjustable suspension and the unobstructed floor deck gives operators room to reach the ergonomically positioned controls. Visit www.montanatractors.com.

Fungicide registered
Bumper, a fungicide for cereal crops, was recently registered for use to control a wide range of leaf diseases.
Bumper is an alternative to the current propiconazole product called Tilt.
It is registered for use on winter and spring wheat, barley, oats, corn, soybeans, canola and dry edible beans.
Packaged in a formulation that treats 80 acres per case, Bumper is of use for growers in high production areas where weather conditions favouring high yield also favour disease development.
