| I agree with you that each business has their own needs. I wasn't trying to make the case that a 48 row planter was a bad thing. Frequently making efficient use of every person is much more important than making efficient use of every machine. If everyone wanted to make the most efficient use of every machine, they would be out there with a hoe every day working at 99% efficiency (doing 99% of what the hoe was capable of for the time it was used). The reality is that manpower is a valuable thing and the number of acres that a single person can do in a day is significantly increased with wider equipment. A wider machine makes for a more efficient person, not for a more efficient machine.
My only intent was to explain a possible reason for the discrepancy between what one poster believed a 48 row planter should plant in a day and what it was actually doing per day. | |
