I live in west central Illinois and we just finished our 360 acres of corn silage tonight for our dairy farm we chop with a Claus 6row, three aluminum dump trailers fitter with taller sides and auto doors, and I push with a John Deere 4960 mfwd. Our packing tractor is a 9170 case. I definitely stay busy in that pushing machine, hard work.
