[QUOTE="deleted user 436632456, post: 7861975, member: 151698"] I do like the multi cut system but it's a bit of a mystery at times too, Say you cut 200 acres each cut for a farmer (Very general figures)- 200acres * 3 cuts * £60 per acre = £36,000 200acres* 5 cuts * £35 per acre = £35,000 Turnover wise there isn't much in it and you should have still saved some time and diesel but IMO the wear and tare is increased over 40% extra acres and you generally have the manpower and extra equipment sitting there for the bigger crops anyway. And then the 1st cut men in the middle of July want the £36 per acre price! [/QUOTE]
