Demoed a 4580 baler, 3 years ago after seeing Bruce demo one for you guys, 3 years later 5000 bales on it no issues at all, and nice square shouldered bales every time and not a loose bale in the field yet, net goes on every time👌
We got 4.25 inches of rain 🌧 here in Kanopolis on Sunday. Made my daughter's graduation party end quickly with a tornado 🌪 watch issued. I hope you guys got some of that storm to fill your ponds. Great video 📹 👍
Have you ever run an analysis of cost/ benefits of custom chopping? That Claas is really making some fast tonnage, and any breakdowns are on the custom operation's $. Doing everything yourself is great, until it's not. Great video, I love your content!
@@nikphoenix Yeah, I know. But compared to the $ of a later model used (probably worn out) chopper, and the general maintenance even on the paid for chopper, it's a very close call. I was just curious if they had considered it. Sounds like they might need a fully new set of knives, and that won't be cheap.
We like having our own chopper for the timeliness of it, but you are correct in that you have to factor in time and energy for repairs and maintenance along with cost of owning the machine. What's nice is we already own the trucks and tractor for other reasons, so the chopper is the only added cost. We will likely either upgrade our chopper or switch to having more custom work done for us (as we already have been doing).
Thanks for taking the time to share this video with us
Nice shot of the camera showing the clouds moving across the field while you’re chopping

Great video guys that’s a bummer about hitting metal with your chopper.
That is a amazing chopper. That’s a lot of tonnage it’s eating
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO GUY'S 😊
Rain 8:00 Goshen, Ind. ⛈⛈🌧 "Farmer" . Thank you. (Digger)
Spent many hours working on those Valley pivots. 20 yrs since I've been in side one of those boxes and knew all the parts you would have to replace.

Problem with custom chopping is you operate on their schedule. Most people want to chop at the same time.

@@PetersonFarmBros Going to see a lot of bigger units traded in as more companies produce engines high enough HP to be DEF free.
Metal de technical
The flashing of that moratorium is not good
