      Couple of problems problems here. Rolling land that doesn't mature very even, and impatience. Also in years of sawfly populations building up and then heavy infestations we are better off cutting it down before it falls over onto the ground(doesn't happen often but saw a bit last fall already).

        But yes gps isn't as good as our Deere.

        But also two for one comparing price.

          Amazing...own a business and sell it for 10x earnings and forget about it.

          Watch for mega pulse company sell out in next 12 months...multibillions. Mark my words.
          Wouldn’t it be sweet to sell your farm for 10X earnings....and in the finance world earnings are before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

          That’s how the big boy in the foreign pulse company has been able to keep the charade going for along time, while buring millions of dollars cash.

          Your farms all look great if you forget to calculate half the expences and tell them next year forecast looks great. (Forward Looking Statements)...now buy my farm. Haha.

              I've been a fan of macdon swathers, but massey looks to be a good alternative. jd, case, good for cutting hay in the Midwest.

                Massey might not have much but at least they have a swather. Old ones sucked in the beginning but when they got into it with Heston they took off. Big cab is ok and GPS is ok the reversible fan is awesome idea never blew out a rad ever since that addition. Its a standard feature.

                      A mph slower on a big crop with massey. Heavy spots it wont power through. Hydraulics start pooping out.and drier stuff the reel shells more.
                      Macdon is a no brainer king around here.
