Well I'm sure that sounds great but number one hay equipment is cheaper than that during this dry time, and for two u can't figure the price of hay based on how much Ur equipment cost unless u average out the harvest on the good years and the bad for the life of the equipment and then most folks already have trucks trailers and tractors and such to begin with so that's a factor to some extent but not an affecting factor when Ur talkin about buying hay equipment to go into business in a drought... The fuel is the big factor, but farm diesel is 3.50 so helps a little to run red fuel. New trailer for 2500 and new bailer for 16000? That's a deal... There was never a question about goin into debt if Ur just startin out bailin hay and then the drought... But to figure in the full price of Ur equipment into how many bales u roll plus fertilizer and fuel and .5 rolls per acre is a little excessive... It would have to sell for 200$ a roll on a wet year in that perspective... Hope u see what I'm sayin without taking it as me being a d&@$ about it cuz that's not my intention
