Subject: Re: I need to automate my bale handling



Right now I have to have people unloading wagons as I bale which is why I have the headaches. I own the 4 wagons I mentioned but also use 2 of my friends kicker wagons if my help starts falling behind on unloading.

So your wagons hold around 225 at a time. I would need at least 8 to meet my average day of baling and I could have whoever will be loading them haul the wagons to the field as I am baling, load them and take them back.

 The plus side is then I would have wagons I could take to my customers barns to leave during the off season so they could unload the wagons as they needed bales (saves me from having to unload and saves them from having to unload also). The down side is I have 8 wagons to buy and maintain.

Which ever system I go with I know I will have one main machine to maintain, a set of grabs and I want a 30' gooseneck so that is a given. How much do your wagons cost roughly?
