Subject: RE: 7760 JD picker justification


Northeast Louisiana
Local guy, who is on here and may chime in, is happy with one on 1100 acres. I've never seen acres as the determining factor on a decision like this-- if you're a little low on acres it just means you'll run it fewer hours and it will last longer.
Last year we ran ours over about 3200 acres, this year our cotton was late so we got antsy and hired some help and only picked about 1500 with ours. As it turned out, we could have gotten it ourselves but I've never wished crop was back in the field.
For years we were over-pickered and would pick our own plus some custom picking. The past few years we've been under pickered and hired some help. We just ordered another one if that tells you which side of that scenario we prefer.
