Last week was spent in Indiana where we were able to conduct demos for two different custom harvesters. A BiG X 1000 with the EasyFlow 3801 hay head was demoed to each custom harvester.
The first gentleman we demoed to has been running various choppers to try to find the best one that suites his needs. I was able to explain all of the great features of the BiG X to him and he got his two main operators in the seat for the demo. We chopped about 100 acres of Alfalfa and ran the chopper most of the day. The operators commented that the ride in the BiG X was very smooth, which is very important when you spend the whole day in the machine. The smooth ride is due to the large tires and rear axle suspension. They were also very impressed with the high chopping capacity in combination with the fuel efficiency of the BiG X 1000. Another convenience on the BiG X they mentioned was the easy access to the engines and main components, such as the kernel processor.
The second custom harvester that we demoed to ran the BiG X 1000 himself to determine how the machine ran. By the end of the day he ran the BiG X 1000 for about 50 acres and he had found many features he really liked. He liked the EasyFlow hay head because of how heavy it was built and because of its camless pick up. The camless pick up was very important to him because in his area of the country there is a lot of sand which causes parts to wear out quicker. The camless pick up on the EasyFlow head has fewer moving parts which means less wear, fewer replacement parts and less down time. Inside the cab of the BiG X, he liked how easy it was to change the chopping settings on the monitor while on the go. He also noted the view out of the cab was unobstructed and he was able to see everything he needed to while enjoying the benefits of having tented windows.
This week we are around New Hamburg, Ontario. I will give an update on the demos up there when we finish them.
