[QUOTE="MickyMook, post: 7475477, member: 82116"] You can grow spring barley in most places to be fair. It's getting it lifted out of the field that tends to be the problem in wet or exposed areas. When I looked into it, I was told that there was no point in buying an old combine unless I was willing to spend more time under it than in it. There are quite a few farmers around here with old combines, who contract with them on the side, and as a result I have too many stories of being let down when a machine broke down or even went up in smoke (avoid old masseys as they seem to do this a lot)! Three years ago I found a contractor 15 miles down the road with a Claas Lexion half track and haven't looked back :D I still think you should do it though, and post the results! [/QUOTE]
