I made a wooden box that holds about a bushel that the sheller clamps onto. Our kids think it is great fun to help out with the shelling. I'm shocked by the price of this unit, though. I bought mine from a guy in our antique tractor club for one tenth this amount. These new ones (and the one I have) are reproductions of units that have been around for many years. I once saw one that looked nearly identical labeled as a David Bradley which probably would have been from the 30's or 40's. One disadvantage of a small sheller like this is that it obviously has no fan like larger units. This allows chaff from the cob to end up in your grain. For what I use it for this doesn't matter; our animals don't seem to mind! Hand cranked corn sheller [Reply]   [No Email]
