[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 850605, member: 8829"] I wasn't down playing your product in the least I think they are a good deal but with the amount of hay I move I can do it faster with a tractor and a self unloading trailer and in my business faster is cheaper as I already own the tractors and the cost of using them or adding a new machine won't weigh out for several yrs as for feeding I feed all my hay with trucks with bale beds and we unroll all of our hay so being able to use your device wouldn't work in our case to feed I can load an 8 bale trailer in 5 minutes or less and I already have the tractors in the field so I couldn't see the need added expense for a self loading hay trailer in an operation where you hire your hay baled and you have to move all of your hay then I think it would work great or if you had hay in places that a tractor wasn't available also you quoted 10 hrs to move 100 bales 4 miles so that is 10 bales per hr I did 80 in 2.5hrs with a tractor and operator and 1 trailer and driver which would work out to 3 hrs and 15 minutes for 100 bales so in 10 hrs I would of moved 317 bales even at $2 pr bale moving charge I can more than pay the extra fuel and labor that it cost to run the extra tractor I think you have a good piece of equipment but I don't think it works in all operation We have moved hay with about everything imaginable from gooseneck trailer to semis and for us the fastest has been the self unloading trailer I wish I had a 40ft trailer but it doesn't work to well in our hills and narrow road so I stick with the 32fters [/QUOTE]
