In your situation, year in and year out, from what I've seen I'd feel comfortable penciling half that pretty easily.
So with $4 corn and 4 bushel increase for a low ball figure that’s a revenue increase of $5280 on 330ac and 5 years to pay for itself.
If you’re at 8 bushels yield/1000 plants that’s an increase in stand of 500 plants. I have a hard time believing this unless someone doesn’t set a planter to conditions or are trying to plant at higher speeds. I’ve been told that’s where hyd. downforce pays off.
For me if you plant normal speeds and take the time to set your planter, electric drive would pay off sooner with eliminating a lot of moving parts. |
