| Yes, I do farm in the west and we do irrigate. Actually, I'm just a custom operator. The only place it's green out here is where the pivot hits. I am actually in southwestern Colorado which is pretty arid. We bale dry hay and actually use the Staheli West machines to give us a little moisture to improve quality. I don't know about dry vs. wet hay, but I guess what's hard on the Krone out here so far is the field conditions....deep pivot tracks, ravines, swells, prairie dog mounds, etc. I know most people will read that and think none of that should be an issue with a good operator, but we cover a lot of acres per day and only run 2 machines as thus far I only have 2 steamers. Doesn't mean we shouldn't still dodge all the alligators, but we're not perfect. The Massey's just don't seem to show my imperfections as much. And I will agree with you on the dealer. I actually purchased this baler because the JD store here in town sells them and I have no dealer support within 200 miles in the Massey. However, they don't have a lot of machines out, and even though they try, they're not baler whizzes. Thanks for your input. Do you wrap your wet hay? I am thinking about trying that on our third cutting because we do get quite a bit of rain on that one. Just trying to work out a close enough market to make it work. I'm interested in learning more about it. I appreciate your input | |
