with all of that big wheeled machinery, I'm surprised that you don't have some 4-5ft lifted redneck monster truck. Or a jeep to drive across a pond in. . . . . I know I would.

 

What do your hours look like? What are yall cutting?

 

i'd rather go fast... but something that would cross a pond would be sweet

Which hours...i can't remeber the hours on the 9600 but they're pretty low for a '97 model...the 8440 has 123hours on the clicker
We've been getting started around 10:30 in the morning and cutting til atleast 11:30 at night. we cut til 1:30 wednesday night/thursday morning. The **** is plenty dry i think the highest moisture we've taken in was 11.3. Most of it has been running 10.2 or so. Disease and army worms got this stuff around here this year. Test weights have been 56-59 for us. Some people have been taking in 47-to low 50's weight. We're cuttin 60-70 bushel straw and getting 20-30 bushel/acre crops. We're cuttin jagger, jagaline, and i think some 2174. jagaline has been the best so far.

 

I was talking about how many hours per day/week do you work. I had to google what the hell kind of crop you were cutting. I havent ever seen a wheat field. All i see is hay(I know the bloody hay fields all to well. ), corn, sesame, and milo. Im familiar with the last two only because we had a lease that we hunted dove in the fields right after they harvested and limited out in 30 minutes.

 

I'm sure his is about the same as mine but I have been pulling about 16 hour days. The morning is usually spent fixing screw-ups from the day before and then start cutting as soon as you can until as late you can...

 

like this blue Ford Crew Cab?
It's a portible party barge/fishing dock.
