CaseIH 8575, 3x3x8 600 lbs. Buyer says that is about normal. You can shoulder em off a trailer if you have to. With a 24 ft windrow I would guess running 4 MPH or so, can't remember now. Got into some with a 25ft head where the guy was practically running the floating cutterbar on the ground, and it was slower. Still, 50 bales an hour or so is realistic. Sold ours this year for $65/ton.
