The same dealer that has the baler, has a couple silage choppers in good shape for half the money of the baler. It starting to sound like a chopper would not take much more power than a baler when baling green or wet material. ??

 The header I use to cut the weeds, is a draper head and I can offset the delivery to the side of the tractor so a chopper could pick up the row. I dont have to remove the spoils if they are chopped and spread. So since I'm not chopping corn, how would the power reuquirements compare between a baler in green stuff and a chopper in weeds?
