Haven't done a lot but have charged 5 cents in and 5 cents out. All I provided was the equipment and no tractor. If you have plenty of help a 10' machine would be better. I have a 9' but glad I do because my wife and I are the only workers here. The 9' bags are heavy enough. They're all I want to have to man handle. I do think the grain really should come out before summer for your safest bet but we have carried some for over a year. Really hard to keep moisture out of the bag ends over a prolonged period but we probably only had maybe 2 to 300 bushel spoil total in a 9500 bu bag. We use a grain cart and no one needs to be in the machine while bagging or loading but it's a nice luxury if someone is. 75 hp+ is a nice size. We've used a 200 hp tractor when that was all that was available but the physical weight of the tractor is a detriment.
