Me Again, The local dealer here has his shop boys busy going thru this old combine for me to make sure it is field ready and mechanically sound so as to go back to work. It has been parked just setting idle for years in a farmer's machine shed. I mentioned to him this morning that for some reason the darned straw chopper is off the machine, is laying on a pallet around back of his shop and that I didn't want him to forget it when he loads the combine on the truck to deliver. What the heck is it doing off the machine anyways? He says that it is easy to tell that I'm an irrigator and that most people hate the things and the combines will sell better if the choppers aren't mounted on those old cylinder type machines. He goes on to say that people like the old-fashioned "spreaders" better. Since I'm not a wheat farmer, I don't understand this line of thinking. I always thought that the choppers were the best thing since sliced bread if you don't wanna save the straw. Why don't wheat farmers like straw choppers? Takes too much power to pull 'em or what?
