[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7910686, member: 156006"] We went from 2 to one. It’s no faster but man power factors into it.going to one big combine speeds up many things. Only one combine to keep grain cart busy one to service and breakdown one header to transport between fields and the list goes on but overall acres a day isn’t much better. If I had the extra manpower I’d run two smaller or older combines. going wider cut is better to keep the combine maxed out for capacity but if the rows of straw get soaked 49 ft takes some drying. Straw choppers at 40 ft struggle to cover evenly in a breeze,in rolling hilly fields 40 ft doesn’t fit the terrain well in lodged crops. But I did see you said one flat field. At the end of the day I think you’d be hard pressed to get one 40ft to outcut a 25 and 30 ft regardless of colour. [/QUOTE]
