Farm machinery ownership versus hired work
Wisconsin farm engineers and extension specialists compare owning versus renting machinery. They note break-even hinges on hours used, with forage harvester as example: under 40 hours yearly favors hiring, over 80 favors ownership. Timeliness and alternative uses for capital also influence decisions.
