like Justin said theres alot of factors. My thinkin is if you chop more than 200 a year or so a older self propelled would work, less than that a big pt would probably work. To justify a v8 or v12 krone I would think you would want at least to chop 800-1000acs a year. Of course the time factor throws another monkey wrench in to the mix. Idk, it takes alot of acs to justify a half million dollar chopper. But heck its your display and you dont need to justify it to anyone else in my opinion, just as long as your happy. On a side note, I would love to see someone do a Krone.

sometimes you just gotta take the bull by the horns and hang on

If your talking 4-500 head i could see the need for a SP chopper. if ur talking acres then def a PT would be more justifiable.
