[QUOTE="DairyNerd, post: 8161985, member: 168926"] I think if you run your own kit to make bales you have to take every cut at the right stage of growth to get that advantage of making quality silage on every field/paddock and getting regrowth quickly. That will also increase intakes, which can be lower on bales, as grass will be shorter, I would personally cut soon after grass has gone too far for grazing, around 3500, not sure what others think? Got to be prepared to take small cuts every fortnight though i would think. I know a lot of farmers who say they run their own kit to do everything when they want to, they then don't get round to it, and end up making it later than a contractor would have. Personally I clamp it and like a contractor doing it, they sort the breakdowns, the maintenence etc...but i have little interest in any aspect of driving a tractor and wouldn't want to have to do bales all summer.
