Central ND | A budy here still properly maintains and uses a harvestore for his alfalfa on his dairy. Very expensive to keep maintained. Parts and service are very high. Timing / handleing /with the crop are just a critical to get quality out of it.Very nice alfalfa haylage comes out from it though. It is set up to a one man feeding operation operating on a belt conveyer bunkline feeder.The moisture level is importand so it doesnt freeze up there on these - o F weeks of winter. It has worked out well for my friend, but none of this is cheap by no means.If you were strictyly a small beef herd, you could not maintain a harvestore(IMHO) because of calf prices being so low during the prime days of the harvestors.Lot of dairy's couldnt do it either. Climbing those things msut be a real pain .The high interest paid on those things must have been a pain also in that era. | |

Why hasn't someone reinvented a use for Harvestores?
