[Gristmillers] How Do You Prepare Wheat?

[Faber McMullen]

I had a combine that I gave away last year.  It was a MF 2 row with a  
Crysler gas engine, wheat head, and
corn head.  I gave it away because it was too complicated for my  
operation.
It was extremely hard to start and since I only used it once a year it  
complicated
matters.  It also is in reality too large of a piece of machinery for  
my use.  That
is why I mentioned a PTO driven sheller.  I don't need any more  
motors.  I
found on in Iowa or Northern Missouri  for $750 last week, but I  
hesitate to
buy it without seeing it, and if I go up there I'll feel pressured to  
buy it having
put so much into the trip to go see it.  I'd like to find someday a  
good clean portable
corn sheller.

Thanks for your input,
Faber
