Picking Out the Right Harvester for the Job
Harvesting your crop takes a lot of effort, especially when you're looking at acres of land. Employing manual labor for this huge task can be time-consuming and expensive, but you can lessen your workload by upgrading to a harvester. It’s a great way to increase productivity and maximize yields. You’ll be able to harvest your crops faster and more effectively than you could ever do by hand.
Different farms need different machines, so you’ll want to invest in a harvester that’s right for your farming operations. Bucklin Tractor & Implement has provided some tips to help you make this choice. You can also stop by one of our many locations throughout Kansas and our friendly staff will set you up with the perfect harvesting equipment!
Crops
The first thing you’ll want to consider is the type of crop to be harvested. For many farmers, the standard grain harvester is a good option as it covers a variety of grains. However, you’ll need more specifically designed harvesters for certain crops like hops, grapes, and corn. The header is one part that makes these specialized harvesters different from others. This is where the crop is collected and processed. You can also get harvesters that are designed to remove the stalks while they’re being collected. Make sure you look into options that will suit you best depending on what you grow. If you choose the wrong type of harvester, you might even damage some of your crops.
Size
Next, you’ll want to focus on the size of the harvester that will depend on the size of your farm. However, a big farm doesn’t necessarily need a big harvester. You’ll also have to take into consideration how the crop is planted and the space between each row. If there are too many tight corners on the field, you might want to opt for a smaller model even if you have a big property. The key is to balance efficiency with the workload to make the most out of your harvester.
Brand
Preferring a particular brand over another often comes down to your personal choice. We highly recommend that you look into equipment from reputable manufacturers. With the kind of money you’ll be spending on a harvester, you don’t want to buy a low-quality machine that’s not worth it. Check out the history of the brands you’re interested in to make sure their products are reliable. You can also look at manufacturer reviews to get an idea of how good (or bad) other harvester owners found their machines.
