I run about 40 acres a year through my Gehl setup, it makes for some nice feed. I use a 1 inch recutter screen in the chopper and store it in bags. Making snaplage is slow going, heads for pull types are getting some age on them and today's higher yielding corn means that I'm usually in low gear all the time and it takes awhile to get a load of chopped ear corn. Also remember this stuff is heavy so its easy to overload a wagon.If I was buying another snapper head I wouldn't consider a one row just for time reasons and I would try to buy a chopper and head as a package. There's a lot of little parts to make a snapper head work on a chopper. You will need recutter screens and the hardware to mount them, and on the Gehl I have to pry the feedrolls apart with spacers and cover the lower roll so that the ears will feed into the cutterhead. Snaplage with a pull type is a low cost way to make feed but there are definitely some drawbacks.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
