Think after this season we are going to take our combining back in hand for a few reasons. Anyway the budget would be £150,000 and we’d want to keep it 7 seasons. We are cutting 800ac of w wheat and 200ac of spring wheat or spring barley. We bale majority of the straw but it goes into bale choppers for livestock so aren’t bothered about having long pieces of straw as per a straw Walker machine. Average field size is around 30ac and we’d like to be able to get at least 2 done in a normal day or possibly 3 running longer hours. We’ve have JD and Case dealers within 15 mins. NH and claas are 40 mins but the claas dealer is exceptional with backup so 40 mins doesn’t bother us. MF is not an option for us as once bitten twice shy from years ago and our last MF was the reason we went to contractors! We’ve got underfloor grain drying so there’s no cap on tonnes we can cope with per day. Trailers are 14t in size and we have a seasoned combine driver working for us who’s keen to take it on. What machine please as we are a bit out of the loop.
