Thanks again all for the input, yes lots of dynamics involved, I guess when I start thinking about how much money it will take to remediate our current pasture from very poor to slightly productive for cattle, ‘meaning it’s nutrients have been stripped for the last century) cotton, overgrazing etc...I think I can do better with the mixer, already have loader, 2 tractors, I see profit on the ground when I see hay that is wasted when we put them in hay rings, I see a lot of people tell me a bale weighs 900 when it I actually weighs 990, or 850 (to me that difference multiplied by 200-300 bales is a lot to be off and should be accounted for. I began testing our hay for analysis and can’t understand why most of my neighboring producers don’t, all those dynamics lead me to believe vertical mixer is a no brainer, I’ve been taught to measure what you manage and firmly believe it, thanks again for the input and for those who think they are arguing that’s ok because it keeps my wheels spinning and most importantly causes me to think unconventionally, debate=good stuff.
