We have dropped from 2 combines to 1 across combinable 5000ac, freed up an extra person and lots of capital. More efficient and cost effective to extend the working day and use the dryer than run two machines. We would aim to start cutting by 8am and stop by 10pm, quick blow down and everyone home. Dryer can cope with taking out 5% at 93tph, less cost compared to a large combine, more versatile and more margin for any contract work, especially as we can dress malting barley etc so add value for the customer.
Now that is an impressive setup!! It would certainly be a sight to see.
