There aren't any financial savings over the old fleet. Labour savings are nearly eaten up in wrap cost alone, let alone depreciation. We have 2 and do about 2500-3000 acres with each. Definitely a headache soother though, cut our picking crew from 40 to 4.
I view them as a lifestyle choice, and if I had too few acres to justify them I'd get a contractor.
