[QUOTE="Martin Holden, post: 5364408, member: 710"] That’s a good question in the opening post. Having been involved with them for over 37 years (until Jan 2017) I have had a ringside seat so to speak. Contractors with self propelled’s, round and square balers, and now loader wagons have taken the market. Also the availability of Labour has driven some to contractors as well. As manufactures of trailed machines seek more performance for higher hp tractors the price becomes a major factor. So today in Europe there are only 3 manufactures and maybe only 2 if Agco decide to drop the old Lely Mengele production in the future. Total production numbers including machines for maize aren’t big these days. I think many users will continue to use what they have so long as spare parts are available. If you know your way around a chopper they can be run efficiently. [/QUOTE]
