AGI Batco BCX3 1549: Everything You Need to Know

[@familyjuels]

Brandt dealer here (as well as AGI and Meridian/Conveyall) I'm guessing if you used a 1547LP and weren't happy with the mover then it was a 2015-2018 model. They changed the frame on the mover and the way it sits to make it much more manageable on the newer models. That Batco should be a good unit for you, the only thing that steers me away from them is the extra gear box on it instead of just turning the motor 90 degrees.

You’re bang on. It was a 2018, wasn’t a big fan of the double wheel set up too. The batco has been pretty good, not really an oilseed model as advertised and I agree 100% that they should’ve turned the motor to eliminate the gear box, but it didn’t really occur to me until well after I filmed it

@@AxiomAcresMain issue this year has been getting the actual oil seed belting. I can tell from the video that is not the oil seed belt. Biggest thing with running oils through it is to make sure you run something dry through it after the fact to soak up the oil out of the belt backing. A gallon of dish soap and a couple hundred gallons of water sprayed in the S drive area can save your belt after running oil seed in a pinch.

Hello. I enjoyed watching your video alot. Devin. That is a very nice auger that you bought there. There are some farmers around here where i live at have that same kind of auger that you bought there. I never asked them how like there augers. Are you still upgrading your air drill seeder this spring for a different air drill seeder.

I really like it. Couple of minor issues that will show in the next video but overall very happy. We haven’t found a new drill yet. If we don’t find one by mid February we are likely gonna order a new one
