How to choose
- Start with volume. Size the equipment for a normal harvest, not an imagined maximum.
- Protect workflow. Choose tools that reduce handling, bottlenecks and cleanup.
- Check consumables. Bags, filters, liners, blades and seals can change the true cost.
- Favor observable control. Useful gauges and simple monitoring beat decorative displays.
- Plan storage. Large equipment that cannot stay assembled is often used less than expected.
