So contemplating our combining situation. We typically cut around 2000 acres of soybeans each year. Right now our harvesting approach is very inefficient. 2 combines. No grain cart nearly all of the time. Hire some cut as well.
That being said, trying to figure out if we could realistically cut 2000 acres of soy in 15-20 cutting days with one 9600 that is in very good shape and paid for?
If so, how? Any personal experience? What is your setup, head, mods and all? How many acres can you cut in a day?
Think it might take an engine chip, 35 ft head, phoenix reel, feeder house countour adapter, auger extension, and some cylinder mods. And of course a grain cart to keep it moving.
Is it worth it? Thoughts would be helpful!
