[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1023221, member: 13350"] I certainly agree the conditioner would be advantageous making hay and cutting the Sorghum, but i suspect i'll be making more baleage than hay. This will be the first year we bale Forage Sorghum, we've grazed Pearl Millet in the past, but are experimenting with BMR Forage Sorghum after a neighbor's successes. I know Ryegrass and Oats will figure heavy into the equation though. I borrowed a moco from a neighbor last year and we windrowed the hybrid bermuda pretty tight and the drying time didn't seem to improve much. I suspect because of the smaller windrow. What about the difference in a trailed mower vs. a 3-point on a cart? Is transport width the main reason to go with the cart? Wouldn't the trailed mower but a little more user friendly and less prone to repairs? If a Mower conditioner is to be considered, would the Kuhn be a better choice than a John Deere? We have a good service department at our local JD dealer. But i would prefer to buy something without a lot of service needs. [/QUOTE]
