dsys Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 OK I'll be straight up here - I am not a crop farmer, I know very little about maize and even less about other crops. Pigs I can do but if it involves planting I'm not your man. OK that disclaimer over - Who knows anything about maize pickers(the mechanical type) not a conbine harvester. Specifically the tractor mounted/towed 2 row variety. Can they work on a steep incline? Prices? availability? The information is for a family member who has 50 rai of maize on hilly land. Anybody got any recommendations? My inclination is that a mechanical maize picker would only work on flat land - am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't work out any cheaper but are popular due to the time saving aspect of them, they also they laeve a much higher percentage of waste maize on the ground. My brother-in-law usualy takes a day going over the land picking the waste up after the combi has been through. Sorry don't know about the hilly ground as it's flat as a pankace around us.
