Will it get the harvest done in the 78 minute and 34 second weather window we have had this year?

 

[Drillman]

Could buy about 15 perfectly good second hand Axail flow 2388s for that and get 2-3 times as much done

[Clive]

list prices doesn’t mean much though do they

expect it’s actually similar money as a similar lexion on farm price

Have to sell half of Wales for that???

How many acres does he need to get through to bring his total cost per acre down to £20 an acre. A Dom 76 will do 200 acres at total cost £20 an acre including depreciation, repairs maintenance, labour, fuel and negligible interest charge. What are standard combining costs for a new £200k machine or a hired one doing say 1000 acres.
I often wonder if the small inefficient farmer can keep his combining costs to below £20 an acre then why can't those with new combines do better on a bigger acreage. Contractors charges of £40 must surely mean their costs are £30 an acre plus.
