| All kinds of them in WI.
I help run a 12' H&s and 918 Miller which I think is the same as an Oxbo. Both are single mergers. They run side by side all day behind 18' cutters. We cut Alfalfa and merge at about 70 % moisture.
The H&S handles doubles better and windrows on hills because the head is wider and is easier to run all day because you do not have to drive as exact because of the wider head. The wider head is nicer for corners too. We have quite a few fields that are 5-20 acres in size
THe Miller is made better as wittnessed by less daily/ seasonal maintenance.
We run about 8-10 mph in approx. 2ton/acre yields I have no experience with triticale, but wet alfalfa is very hard to merge. It works much better if the hay is in the 60% moisture range but it does not pack as well then.
If you are using tractor hyd to run them you want 16-20 GPM out of the remote to make them work well. | |

Anyone have experience with hay mergers?
