Claas Rotocut round baler

[bohlem@oes.orst.edu]

Foragers!

I have a producer who is thinking of buying a Claas rotocut round 
baler, bale wrapper and big tractor and start making round balage.  
He will be hauling a couple miles to his 100 cow dairy.  The rotocut 
is supposed to cut the hay into 6 inch pieces and should be an 
advantage over the competitors baler, right?  Any one out there with 
direct experience or know of someone doing this, I would appreciate 
some feedback on the topic.  The neighbor is going to raise the 
alfalfa  and sell the haylage based on a moisture content that they 
both will agree to.  It looks like a great big chunk of money and 
would like to be able to tell this producer that yes or no he is 
heading in the right direction......

I have been able to find a couple of things - booklets and extension 
pubs and video tapes that are related.  Anything out there specific?

I beleive he is going to use an innoculant.  Any wisdom on these as 
well?

Thanks
