"So far the sprayer is working perfectly. It seems very easy to use and rinse out. I love the new valve setup, the product flow stops almost instantly with virtually no dripping so that is really good for plots. The rest of the sprayer seems to be well built and functions correctly. As far as the operators manual goes I can't really say anything because the sprayer is so user friendly that I haven’t had the need to open it up and look at it. Thank you for producing a quality product. we are very happy with the design process, the sprayer and also with the follow up"

"This is the first time we have had a spring fail since we purchased the unit and I’d venture to say we’ve put more hours on this machine than any of your other customers by a long shot. It essentially runs non-stop from April-July and the ground can be uneven and rough in many spots.
This machine has been a great addition to our operation and saved us from applying thousands of gallons of pesticide over the last couple years.
You guys are awesome, and we appreciate the craftmanship!"

"As a research organization focused on developing new perennial crops and cropping systems, our staff at The Land Institute is frequently imagining farm equipment that does not yet exist. One such case was the need for an intercrop mower that would cut weeds or alfalfa growing between rows of our new perennial grain Kernza®. We approached R-Tech with this idea, and Rob took on the project like it was his own. He was patient, careful and exacting in the way that he translated our idea into a plan and then into a durable machine. We could not be happier with the process of working with R-Tech and the resulting intercrop mower. We look forward to working with R-Tech in the future."

"I needed a unique piece of harvest equipment for a hemp breeding program and R-Tech was the right company for the job. From the beginning, Rob and Liam were very engaged and thoughtful—listening to my ideas and making helpful suggestions. Despite the tight deadline and COVID disruptions, R-Tech delivered the equipment on time. The quality of workmanship was fantastic and I was impressed with how well thought out everything was. I highly recommend R-Tech and would gladly use them again in the future."

“[R-Tech's] knowledge, vision, and ability to build and modify agricultural research equipment [was] instrumental in helping me get my agronomic trials in the ground, despite a very ambitious deadline. [They] were able to take a commercial planter and fit it with a sophisticated system for delivery of variable rates and sources of fertilizer. With these practical modifications, we have the flexibility of accessing a commercial dealer for maintenance and repair, in addition to [R-Tech's] own local and very valuable equipment support...the R-Tech team take pride in their work and provide a phenomenal level of service to their customers, myself included!”

“R-Tech Industries contributed its expertise in custom work to a Manitoba Agriculture extension project addressing water movement on agricultural land. A simulator of rainfall and subsequent infiltration/runoff was designed, assembled and installed in an enclosed trailer. Through this innovative project, R-Tech has enabled vital knowledge transfer regarding water, soil and nutrient management, contributing to the sustainability of agriculture in the Great Plains Region.”
