    Driving a swather is the nicest job on any farm.

      I actually hate driving swather. Steamer baler combo is more fun to me

    Having GPS on the swathers makes it nice I was surprised you didn't have it on yours

    What population (Ibs/acre) of alfalfa do you guys plant? How long do most fields stay in hay for?

    I know exactly what you mean when doing the last pass on each strip. Our irrigation dikes are planted and cut as well so sometimes is just a guessing game. Nice SP unit!

    Trevor I'm surprised that you don't put triple mowers on your baling tractors to utilize your power plants better?

      @@patrickburgmeier7902 we can’t, our baler tractors run every day, and that swather runs every day. Most of our tractors have 1 job. We don’t get time between cuttings, by the time we make it through the rotation, it’s time to start over. One day we might have triple mowers, but right now we haven’t seen one that’s as consistent as a these.
