[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7817581, member: 2119"] We are still working on harvesting little and often with our small machine. I do about 2 days a week with the cyclone lifting 150 tons. Then load up over the next few days a load a day. The lorry is busy on clearing it en masse for a customer at a time with a 6 row machine, but he fits us in if finishes early etc. Our system hasn’t really moved on but I reckon it leaves as much if not more margin than the big contractor clearing it in a day. If I had to pay somebody else £100 an acre for lifting carting and loading I wouldn’t consider it economically viable and our yard is too small and fields can lay too wet to accommodate batch lifting anyway. So our system kind of works small scale even if it’s frustrating at times. Ploughing one 8 acre field after beet this morning to get some wheat in. Not often the weather has been kind enough to allow us to do that. [/QUOTE]
