Straight answer

What you need to know

Tuning vs trading in is a budget question. Moving 50 horsepower at a dealership can cost $150,000 or more. ECU and ECM tuning is a fraction of that and is quoted after we see the machine. One John Deere 9470R customer saved over $70,000 by buying smaller and tuning. Ask for a free consult before you trade.

Tune the tractor you have

High-speed planter kits often need 50–70 more HP than stock. That gap is why farmers call before they sign a trade.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from farmers and dealers. Call (701)-587-4368 if yours is not listed.

01

Is tuning always cheaper than trading in?

Trading up 50 HP can cost $150,000+. Tuning costs a fraction of that. We still quote after we see the specs.

02

Do you publish a price list?

Not here. Request a free estimate for your year, make, model, axle, and transmission.

03

When should I call?

Before you trade or buy. If the tune covers the horsepower gap, you may not need the larger machine.
