NY986, IT DID! And I will keep a civilized Tongue in my Head! Even Now..... My Observation, HE Asked for our Best thoughts! #1..Main Crop is Harvested, #2..That crop residue is in windrows (He wanted more Straw to bale since he was short on wheat straw) #3..It has Snowed! Residue is wet and Frozen to the ground, Probably a Loss as of Now! It is 11-29-14 WHAT would I Do? + Bottom Line is He does have Mess on his hands! + I Suggested to burn the windrows Even though I am not totally up to date on a normal winter Moisture pattern in his area! Thinking that may be a possibility. He later posted that burning Isn't an option! So what to Do? As other have said run their Large Forage Harvester over the Crop pick up what he can and blow it out back on the field. Great Ideal till one thinks What happens when a rock enters the Crop cutting chamber, Knives and Plates Don't fare too well. Someone said Buy a cheap machine to do this operation so not to have to use a good Expensive Machine. Why, What the H3LL for when he Probably already owns a shredder of some kind???!! Big heavy machine packs the field, and cause other tillage problems Last and Best option! "This operation may not take place till prior to Spring tillage." I said a 100 hp tractor and a batwing or even a lt wt 40 to 60 hp tractor and 7ft 3pt shredder. Like I said to begin With....Break out a 100 hp Tractor and 15 ft Batwing shredder IE Rhino SR-15, JD 1815 Set the skid (""ON THE GROUND"") and shred the windrows the best he can. IMO Even it he has a LOT to some rocks a set of shredder blades are cheap as compared to the Internal parts of the cutting chamber on a forage harvester. Shredders are built for just this sort of operation! I don't Know If you Know it are Not... I am Know to Pushing a Batwing shredder to the point of failure! I can tell you the Weak point on a SR-15 are the Blade Bolts when using a SR-15 as a Chain Saw on Cedars with bases the size of a tire on Your pickup, Or as a Power Rake, level off out an area that was Bulldozed, where crap brush, Cedars had been growing in amongst huge majestic Live Oaks here in Central Texas and eating Rocks is a Given! Just part of it! In Farming There are Do are Die times and This Fellow still has a fair amount of time between Now ans start of spring field work Before that happens. I heard from His statement and Question what is he going to need to do to get this 40 acre field ready for next year! I still stand by my First post #2 and what I reenterated on my 2nd post. minus any burning! IMHO He will have to push some points and do something he doesn't usually do or get out of his Norm or comfort Zone to get this problem alleviated. The shredder is his simplest solution. He may not have a 15ft batwing, a 7ft 3pt shredder on a 65 Massey LP will do the Job just fine too! just take a little longer. Also it is a light wt set up not much tracking in the field! Rocks!, Rocks don't Scars us None! We had the Corner on the Rock market long ago and have been dealing with them since Noah got off the Ark! Do or Die time is Approaching, it is not on top of him yet there is 60 to 90 days before that happens. I will Bet a Big Red Sodawater He has some sort of a Lt wt 40/60 hp tractor and a 3pt shredder to get the job done with! that is already in his line up without going into extra debt! My thoughts Later, John A.
