[QUOTE="K-SHIRES, post: 194900, member: 3624"] I agree with Bez. * CASH IS KING* Think on this: If you can have western alfalfa delivered to your door for $110 a ton, that 55,000 translates into 500 tons of western hay. Now take the $ 55,000, plus interst on money till paid off, plus $3 plastic for every bale you wrap, plus diesel fuel to bale, mow, rake, haul hay(OH by the way you'll have to buy a squeezer to move wrapped bales without puncturing them), plus tractor expense and labor. Add all those costs together and divide by $110/ton western hay delivered, and see how many tons you get. YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF TO SIT IN THE SHADE AND DRINK LEMONADE and unload hay truck when it comes. Unless, you are a custom operator with a huge client list. I've seen the Class. She's a beauty. But will it pencil for most operation? i will follow Bez's lead and be a skeptic. [/QUOTE]
