The Cyclo concept while simple in principle was more of a devil in terms of maintenance that most farmers wanted no part of. The Axial Flow combine while giving a very good grain samples and more flexibility in terms of harvest conditions did not produce a high quality straw sample.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
