What do we recommend for Southern Alberta farms?

For Southern Alberta operations, selecting the correct MZ4 model depends on tractor size, acreage requirements, and the type of tillage work being performed. Matching working width and horsepower requirements helps improve efficiency and overall implement performance.

In many cases:

The MZ4-85 may suit smaller acreages and compact tractors.
The MZ4-105 and MZ4-125 can provide a balance between working width and manageable horsepower requirements.
The MZ4-145 may better fit operators looking for additional working width while remaining compatible with utility tractors.

At Hanlon Ag Centre, we help Southern Alberta producers evaluate tillage equipment based on tractor compatibility, field conditions, and operational needs rather than simply focusing on implement size alone.
