I'm with you Bruce! It would cost us $16000/yr to hire custom operators to do our chop silage. That's not including dump trucks or packing or silo filling. We spend a grand total of $23000 on the 790 chopper with processor ,the chopper was new in 04 always shedded and fairly well maintained and the high dump is maybe 20 yrs old and other than paint and 2 tires spent nothing on it this year. We really did notice a sudden 2 kg milk drop when we ran out of processed corn this spring from where we hired a custome operator to do 10 acres to try it. Milking 65 cows at 2kg/day is over $32000 per year alone,and the equipment will pay for itself in about a year and a half. They wouldn't take our 781 international chopper on trade that still works good so it's going to be stored for backup in grass time. We paid $16000 for our 550 Massey combine 15 years ago.We figured if we could do 600 acres counting fuel and good luck we'd be Scot free. Haven't spent much on it as of yet and we passed the 600 acre Mark years ago. There's decent reasonably priced used equipment out there just have to search and be patient.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
