We're about to get this wrapped up. We're really pleased with the way the new header works, although we DEFINITELY feel the difference between 30-foot swaths and 40-foot swaths as we work our way across the field. You might not think those 10 feet of header would make a difference, but they do, oh, they do. If you're accustomed to running 40 feet at a time, you feel like you're not making any progress at all when you drop back to 30 feet.

What are you swathing?
Sorghum?
Then are you using a combine with a pickup head?

I swath nothing, its just a photo I seen on FB and liked it. Looks like sorghum to me and I think it must have went down, hence the picup head..

Actually learned quite a bit watching Clarksons Farm on Amazon.

The Sonnes are chopping Winter Rye for Silage anf let me add, that portion of SD really is flat! 😆
Where are they? I grew up in the Couteau du Prairie, which is somewhat hilly. Most of the rest of East River is flat except near the river itself.
