As of 9:30 last night the last of the corn was chopped and in the wagon to be unloaded. Didn't stack up like we had hoped when we had started the season, but we'll still have enough to go till next year.
All told we planted around 45+-an acre or 2 and it averaged out probably 1 load to the acre, where as last year we did about 25 acres and we got 2 loads per acre. (18' boxes)
All that's left is to haul manure and plow, or subsoil if it stays dry enough.
We're small compared to most, but we also have only weekends to really work on it together and not so modern equipment. On the 892 chopper was our 1855, with the 285 to use for splitting the fields and then run wagons. The rental 986 was on bagger/blower duty. A number of flat implement tires, a junk gehl beater/gearbox, and a few bearings in need of replacement are what we have to show for it.
