I know its how long is a piece of string , but what sort of acreage would you like to be clearing on a 8 ton May !st cut on a 3 mile round trip on good roads with little traffic.
depends on the wagon and size of row and how dry any where from 2 to 6 acres per hourI know its how long is a piece of string , but what sort of acreage would you like to be clearing on a 8 ton May !st cut on a 3 mile round trip on good roads with little traffic.
70 AC/day per wagon would be about where they would be here on that sort of crop.
and that would be a pretty long dayMaybe with a very large wagon on a 200+hp tractor with a long day... but with a more typical farmers wagon and a farmers 150hp tractor it would be closer to 30-40 ac/day.
50cube wagon 200hp 1.5 acre a loadI know its how long is a piece of string , but what sort of acreage would you like to be clearing on a 8 ton May !st cut on a 3 mile round trip on good roads with little traffic.
Yes at 8t to the acreIt all sounds painfully slow to me!
had 1 of them 2 weeks ago 31 loads off 24 acresSuckler men are taking their first cuts this week round my way. #just sayin'
Place beside me cut some meadows this week, ( full of star grass & all sorts, 4 foot tall in places ) all grand till the 4 rotor rake arrived a rowed it.Suckler men are taking their first cuts this week round my way. #just sayin'
That sort of crop 2 rotor would be a big row!Place beside me cut some meadows this week, ( full of star grass & all sorts, 4 foot tall in places ) all grand till the 4 rotor rake arrived a rowed it.
Then the harvester arrived and I thought this will be fun, didn’t get 2 foot till it was in reverse, fudgeed about for an hour then gave up with 1 load almost full and went home.
Exactly, a very big row at that.That sort of crop 2 rotor would be a big row!
