One year they did a direct cut, took them 2-3 days to combine a 4 acre field plus a snapped belt. Cost them more for the belt than they made from that small field... It was also a really wet season so they rutted up the field really bad so the field only lasted maybe 2 and we gave up on it and plowed her under.

They seem to think they can reasonably combine it standing every year but every time the try it they're constantly plugging up, putting wet oats on our bin, breaking down, and choking out the alfalfa we've got put in with the oats by only clipping the heads so the rest chokes it out. Once it's run down by the combine you just can't pick it up...

When we swath it, they run it in a very short time, no troubles that I've seen, and they get on to the next job. Only thing is they've got atleats a 20' grain platform, and we've got a 14' haybine that we used to knock it down so it may take them a few extra passes, even though in the end it's quicker for them.
