Love watching cotton pickers

[@conleybanman]

It always does look amazing

[@orreymodo5860]

Is that a natural formation on the mountain is the background? It looks like a huge castle in a hollywood movie. The one at 3:21 and other shots. Amazing

[@conleybanman]

Yup completely natural formation

Great !!!💪✅

Conley, have you guys ever used mosules? If so what's the advantages of now using round bales?

[@jasonking2943]

Modules

[@conleybanman]

Way more advantages we used too have module builders and you could not harvest in the wind and you would loose a lot of cotton dumping out every time and you also had to clean up cotton around the modules. Plus not to mention only one driver way less man power for same amount of work

[@jasonking2943]

@@conleybanman I figured man power was less. So is it a different picker that you use for round bales?

[@conleybanman]

Either a CS690 or a CP690 works. Difference is one is a cotton stripper and ones a cotton picker you could probably find the machines on Johndeere’s website if you wanted to take a look at it. That and I talked a little about the machines in my equipment tour videos

Too bad you can’t run a 45’ header for cotton. Very satisfying to watch.

[@conleybanman]

We’d be able to cover a lot more acres if we did
