Ken, I think if you looked at the numbers over the long haul that included the cost of the towers or bunkers, and compared it to round bales silage, then it would probably about be a wash. You don't have much up front expense with the bales, and you can also make hay with the baler. Silage wasnt a big tractor, chopper, truck and high dump, and bunkers that all cost money. The baler will clean a field fast with a medium sized tractor. Probably less fuel goes into the bales... but more plastic which will end up offsetting the cost of the bunker over the long haul. We did bales for a number of years and switched to chop.... but that was for a more consistent feed quality, and we were also growing mroe corn anyway so we needed the chopper.... and the truck is needed for other things. Definitely agree on the twin screw truck though. Wouldn't be without it, or the big bore N14 in front of it. Rod
