- Jerad Wittwer“Everybody is scared of the sticker price of what the steamer costs, but it will pay itself back 10-fold.”

How Do The Steamers
At Staheli West, we've gathered invaluable insights and practical knowledge from years of customer feedback and real-life experience. This information has allowed us to quantify the critical factors involved in investing in a steamer. We can calculate the return on investment for a DewPoint machine on your farm. In most instances, you'll discover that not only will the steamer pay for itself, but it will also significantly increase your farm's profitability.
When conducting a comprehensive farm assessment, we consider a range of factors, including:
- Increased Bale Weight for Large Square Bales
- Increased Tonnage Due to Reduced Leaf Loss
- Increased Hay Quality and Consistency
- Added Growing Days Due to Quicker and More Efficient Crop Cycles
- Reduced Crop Value Loss Due to Baling Hay Too Dry
- Beat Rainstorms by Baling 12-24 Hours A Day
