Subject: RE: Machinery Operating Costs



Elkmont, AL
Cotton Picker on sheer per acre operating costs even with no breakdowns. Just daily consumables includes nearly 1.5k worth of wrap a day in good cotton, spindle grease, 3.5+ gal fuel/acre, spindle cleaner. Yearly head maintenance, rebuilding doffers, replacing moisture pads, and worn spindles. Major head rebuilds every 1500-2000 fan hrs.. Throw in a major breakdown and wow!, I’m scared to add up my per acre harvesting cost.
