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
