Thank you! Timing is very important in this world

[@kridder6268]

Best of luck on your new chopper. I hope you have a good number of customers to help offset the cost. Miller Custom Farms is becoming a one stop shop for other farmers. I’m sure they prefer this to contracting with several companies. It’s good to buy something new and top of the line. Proves to your customers that your serious about this new endeavor and committed to be in for the long haul. Good Luck..,..,

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you! We are very serious about the new venture. I can’t wait to get some more videos out for you guys

Back in the late '80's I cut 3000 tons of corn silage in two weeks with a 2-row New Holland powered by a 390 Ford gas engine. How long would that take the 9800I? Couple of days???

[@dylanbarber3857]

With this machine, if you have enough support vehicles, about 10 hours.

[@FarmingInsider]

he's right

[@neilramseyer5348]

A lot of custom jobs in Wayne county. Most all swept up by 3 or 4 companies That's a big undertaking buying that. For corn and hay the biggest company runs at least 2 choppers and who knows how many trailers or straight trucks. I'm sure you know them

[@FarmingInsider]

It’s definitely a big chunk to bite off. This first season will be a very big learning curve

[@fedup3582]

When you get to the job, will they have trucks or trailers to haul away the chopped material as fast as you can chop it, or will you be sitting waiting on them, or do you bring the hauling equipment with you?

[@FarmingInsider]

It will depend on the client, but most will be full service so we will supply trucks and trailers and the bagger and packing crew

[@jm37024]

what size head is on there?

[@FarmingInsider]

12 row! that should work through some tonnage

[@randymonninger9913]

Awesome chopper

[@FarmingInsider]

Thanks 👍

[@Wyomingfarmer]

Needs a spout extension for that head

[@FarmingInsider]

Wow, nice observation! You are clearly someone who knows what you’re talking about. We do have it, it came on the little trailer and the hay head came later

[@matthewvanderbeek1240]

Is it true that custom harvesting charge hasn't gone up much? I suppose one is getting more done in less time. So one can cover more acres to justify the added increase in equipment cost. Like John Deere million dollar combine. Have to cover a lot of acres to make it work.

[@FarmingInsider]

Yes, grain custom harvesting has not followed appropriately with the price of replacing machinery at all!

[@danvanhoose6783]

What will it bring at auction?

[@FarmingInsider]

Lol at the rate of equipment inflation probably more than we paid

[@garyweber1724]

i wonder if your the same miller bros that are getting some Meyer Manufacturing trucks

Most farmers are not buying theses machines out right they are leasing them because if you lease them the payments can be a tax right off and if u buy it you can only deduct the depreciation for a couple years
