I have a friend that is a dairy farmer , & I help him with chopping. he uses a bagger. he likes it over the stave silo, or bunker, because it is more tolerant of moisture content. we have started in the morning when it is a little wet , and by late afternoon we could have been bailing .. he says in a silo it would turn to slop on the bottom and catch fire on the top , cause it's too dry. The moisture in the bag balances out and make good feed. having said that , he is looking at going to a silage baler because of the fewer pieces of equipment & the lower HP required. he uses a MF1155 at about 140 hp ..and I believe a NH 798 chopper , & he keeps the knifes sharp, and in a heavy crop it still loads the tractor pretty good.he has 4 wagons , the bagger , the chopper , and the haybine. It seems we are always fixing something ..took us 3 days to get 48 ac in the bag, and he ended up bailing some . The bag held about 120 ton of choped hay. hope this helps..Shawn

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
