[QUOTE="puppet, post: 7734650, member: 25962"] We are in season 6 and 4 different contractors as they seem to sell the wagon after they have been to us :scratchhead:. Distance is 100 yards to a mile away from the pit. Clearance is 4-6 acres an hour. Even a smaller wagon would easily do 25 acres in a short day. I would find a contractor if possible as you need plenty HP up front. We cut and ted around 100 acres. Used to hire a buckrake but bought a decent used one so no hassles and only need to arrange the wagon and rowing man. It is longer chop and buckraking is harder. However, no problem or expense getting 3 or 4 trailers now. Only one machine running over the ground and if you have some awkward corners the grass still goes in the wagon and not blasted over the trailer. I am surprised more do not use them though I see a dairy farm has got their own now. [/QUOTE]
