[QUOTE="james ds, post: 5365358, member: 4796"] There use to be a lot of them around here years ago , but now there are only a few farmers still using their own, there are none working for hire , mostly JF 900 and 1050 s still working , there are a few reasons why they have dropped in popularity, one is the new price of them , the second is the lack of labour on farms now compared to years ago, and the main one is effeciency , since wagons became bigger and reliable they have taker over a lot of trailed work, as one farmer who cuts his own and a few neighbours silage when he switched from a JF. 900 to a wagon , what he saved on fuel and labour with the wagon over the harvester paid for the new wagon. He has one wagon doing more acres a day than the JF could do with two trailers side filling , so a huge so a huge saving overall. [/QUOTE]
