Woodham, Ontario
lets regroup your regrouping! and i put $ behind everything we don't have

1) 9760STS $
2)Gravity box $
3) Claas Jaguar 850 $
4) JD 7920 and Kinze 400 grain buggy $
5) JD 7810 and TSF dumptrailer $
6) NH TM190 and Veenhuis dumptrailer
7) JD 544H

I took out the 7210 becuase we never packed with 2 at the same time.

Alternative 1 (using dumptrailers to haul the corn from the field to the yard, dumping and loading a gravity box with the 544H (lots more work)
1) 9760STS $
2) Gravity box $
3) JD 8120 + grinder $
4) JD 7210
5) JD 7810 and TSF dumptrailer $
6) NH TM190 and Veenhuis dumptrailer
7) JD 544H

Alternative 2, trucks and slowly unloading into grinder, assuming the grinder has the same capacity as the 9760STS and I seriously doubt that based on last year when the grinder could just keep up with a 9610.
1) 9760STS $
2) JD 7920 and Kinze 400 grain buggy $
3) truck + trailer (loading) $
4) truck + trailer (unloading) $
5) truck + trailer (on the road) $
6) JD 8120 + grinder $
7) JD 544H

So which is better? Which is cheaper? Which has the most capacity? Which is the most efficient? There is no easy answer.

It packs pretty easy, comes much slower than silage, spreads around easier but you have less traction. You do need some moisture for it. It packs really hard.
