Always be interested in transtackers and to know how people justify having them.
For example I had two men two trailers and two tractors, one been a loader tractor on carting for me, they had 300 4x3's to cart in a 3 mile radius back to yard and stack out side 6 high. When I got back later that day I was amazed to see they'ed only managed to cart 222 bales alday. When I worked it out for the Hours they'ed been on they'ed lead 27 a hour!! So this got me thinking why and when asked how come they'ed only lead that amount they're response was that strapping down took 10 mins in field and 10 mins in yard to pack up "plus 5 mins for a waff every load".. so my question is how far radius from base can you cart with a transtacker before it starts costing more than trailers? Because in my eyes I could of had one man and tractor on and lead the same amount [emoji848]
