nw oh
I completely agree that I would much rather continue with our current setup. He does a really nice job and he runs the chopper so it gives us an extra man which helps. I am just afraid that if I say I want to do 80-100 acres instead of our normal 50, he might start to balk at it. We try to do everything to accomadate him. Have silo ready, blower ready, wagons ready. We have even had end rows of a couple of times. The three years we have done it we have been done in a day and a half. If we went to 80 acres it will take two really big days or three easy days.

I just hate to buy even a pull type machine for three days worth of work. But, the increased feed efficiency will pay for it in a hurry. It is great feed for our holsteins. We actually replace most of our silage with it. It gives us enough fiber and scratch. It really stretches our storage compared to silage.
