Velva, ND | Have one 9870 and the great debate on the farm is if I should add another 9870 or just buy a 690 and continue to hire the balance. Wondering in the cool wet conditions we had this year what kind of capacity the 690 had in wheat. In 70-80bu wet stuff I was about 15 ac per hour and 1000-1150 bu per hour from what I can remember. Can we get 20+ Acres with the 690?
I have 2500 acres wheat and 2500 acres beans plus corn and flowers. Been hiring 800-1000 total of wheat and beans in the past.
Edit to add: put 350 sep hrs avg on 9870 per year
