How many stackers in that field. My brother and I ran custom stackers and those were the good ole days loading in 5 mins. The operator does a good job keeping the bale loader at max. Great memories working hard.
I'm curious about the total investment cost minus the land. I have 1 acre of land that Im thinking about growing lavender. Is the heavy equipment own or least from someone else?
Hi Chase, thanks for the very helpful information. Thanks for confirming that Grosso is good for growing big healthy plants and getting good oil production.. Best regards from Eugene, Oregon! Steve Short
Pretty sure this unit is an automatic… not like an old school (1069) two-tie manual where you have to manually slam levers… the entire process on this baby is automated, just have to have good pace so you don’t crowd the first table. Very nice machine!
Yes, auto trans and auto tie tiers etc. I’ve stacked with a little 1068 before so I know the whole manual deal, as a kid I’d forget what tier I was on and sometime the tie would be one early or one late🤷
It is an organic field so we would cultivate until we couldn’t get down the rows anymore with the cultivator, then after that we would walk through and hand weed the bigger stuff. Usually about a month before harvest was the last weeding
Pretty nice condition for a 41 year old working truck. I drove one just like only back then it was new.... The Big Cam II and 13 is a big improvement over the 8V92 and 9 speed.
I live near Ellensburg, been baling hay for 3 different farmers for 4 years, looking to add a forth farmer, if you need help drop me a line. thanks . PS if you know Greg Hutchison, he has repaired some equipment of mine, and he knows me also.
Im over here is Kittitas Co. retired but I have worked with 3 different farmers, during the season, mostly fluffy and raking, and lots of baling, if anyone over in your area looking for a balerman, im available. Ive ran a series of SP Freemans' 330, 370, and also pull type 370' s . thank you
if your need a extra person pulling a Freeman 3-tie baler this Summer Im available, ive been baling in Kittitas Valley for 4 Summers now, both with pull type and SP freeman's , or ive did some rotary raking last year, and tons of fluffy two years ago.
