Itta Bena Mississippi | Having run both pickers, and hauling and ginning both modules, there's no comparison. The play to the ginners by CIH is false economy. The CIH modules must be staged just right or your module truck efficency goes way down. They're also not packed as tight as a conventional module, resulting in ground loss if moved multiple times and the loose module gins slower.
There are several alternatives to the expensive feeder that was developed with the JD picker. We've built our own bale unwrap system that sits in front of the normal feeder. It works well at a fraction of the cost of the one built in Corpus. We've also used JD's loader attachment and we're currently working on our own.
A final word as a ginner. If you're in the Delta, raise cotton and your gin doesn't want to handle your cotton if it's in a round bale (or any other form), Call us at 662-254-7676. We're in the business of ginning cotton, not telling farmers what can't be done. Tom | |
