Dallas Center IA 515-720-2463 | Some questions for Austin:
#1- With fields of 5 to 25 acres, I am thinking unloading on the go is not practical. Maybe the 25 acre ones, but not the under ten acre fields.
Can and do you unload on the go?
#2- Just how wide of a corn head can you take thru gates and down the road? In my part of the world a 20 foot 8 row by 30 is no problem at all. Some people even take 30 foot 12 row by 30s down the road, but not very far. There are some who go a long ways with 30 footers, but I think they are asking for trouble.
I know as you go to the east in the USA, you cannot take as stuff very wide down the road.
#3- Fully believe a folding corn head would do you a world of good. Depends on the answer to #2. If less than 20' lots. If you can road with a 20' head on the combine, not quite as much.
What is your row spacing? Folding heads are no problem for 30" heads. I believe there are 20" folding heads. But for a 15" to fold, I doubt if that is practical.
#4- Can you get semis or trucks into the field to load? I doubt if loading on the road would go over very good with police department in your eastern urban location.
I can feel for you and all those fields. At the present time I only have two fields. And they are really just one field split in the middle. But I use to have over 20 fields at five locations.
The moving can really take the time.
