Thought you guys might like these. Not long back from driving this brand new machine. At 6 rows and 500hp it can cover 100ac/day with just 2 people. it took 10 people and 2 pickers to do the same area the old way making modules. The bales are 8ft high and 8ft long and weigh about 2.5 ton. The bale chamber is just like a big belt round baler that rolls plastic around he bale to hold it together and protect it from rain. If the plastic splits its a big job to pick all that cotton up by hand and throw it back in the front again. There has to be a better way to do that. I don't wont to be working on one of these when they get older more sensors and wires than you can poke a stick at as all the baler is automatic and has a small basket in front of it to hold cotton while it applys the plastic wrap and drops the bale so you don't have to stop. With a bale on the retriever on the magnum some times it need more weight on the front than the nose tank full of water would give just made it more fun to drive.
