ecmn | i like our harvestor for the quality it keeps, but i have informed dad that his days of using it for feeding steers are numbered. its so painfully slow to get any feed out of.
for 80 grand and feeding steers, i would reinvest that money into upgrading equipment or steer handling/buildings.
i would be more than happy to start a skid steer or loader tractor for feeding then wait for a harvestor. needless to say filling the harvestor is also very slow and spendy. i chop for a guy that makes piles then come home and chop for dad to fill silo, oh i cant wait to convert the silo to dry corn.
we used to have the belt system. oh it was great when it was new dad said, but i remember every time we had freezing rain or heavy snow you had to be out helping it along. that sucked.
I cant think of anything easier than a mixer and feed piles? drive the mixer to a spot, load it with stuff and drive it over to fence line or buck feeders. fast and easy!
