| He may not need to run 40,000 bu. per day.
I would wager on some farms it is impossible with any machine.
IF I can get 1,000 bushel an hour through my 7120, that is about average.
The machine is capable of 5,000 an hour in the right conditions.
There are not many places of those on my farm.
Go to 16 row and still only 2,000.
I will agree machinery can be a better investment than some want to admit.
Dad bought several tractors new int he 80's and I bought one.
I ran mine a few years and sold it for a modest profit.
Dad still has his. I suspect he could make about 30% on them now.
I will point out though. the money is only worth half as much but it is still better than leaving it in a checking account.
