    I will buy another swather.

    FM 3.3 mph were doing that in swath canola thats tough. Most are at 1.5 to 2.5 at best.

    Snow makes it flat on the ground.

      You of all people should know not all canola fields are the same SF3.

      Look hard at those pictures.
      Its standing!
      No lodge what's so ever!
      And looks thin
      Either that's a last year picture or it doesn't snow in his world

      Crusher's picture is what canola is suppose to look like after snow

        Ummm....


        I think you need to look hard.

        Those pics are from september. Last pics at bottom is 45H76 clearfield the day before the snow came. We finished that field that day yet. All the canola so far came off 11 to 14.... Dry by no means.


        "Looks thin"... ha ha ha. 6 feet tall just about and running almost 50... good for here... rest of ours doesn't look that nice. Most fairly lodged.

        We also didn't get the wet snow some areas did. Just dry powder didn't take crop down as bad.

        Tested canola at 4. 17%. Another day or two. Oh wait.... it'll rain again tomorrow.

          Swathed all mine at 60% colour change and combined it 7 days later in august at 5.5 mph. It was badly lodged too, but a second older swather is a cheap buy to speed up the job. Standing canola took at least another month.
