[QUOTE="bankrupt, post: 7124396, member: 42770"] Need one or the other, if not both. It's been quite interesting to follow the vacillating financial implications of these alternatives. In the 50s, 60s and the early 70s, with very low fuel costs, it always paid to use any drier to its maximum, in order to increase combine capacity. Then, in the late 70s and 80s and early 90s, as fuel doubled and tripled in real cost, the best trick was to have big combine capacity to save on drying costs. Then in the late 90s and 00s and 10s, as combines became ridiculously expensive and drying costs were still very high, it lead on to a frustrating no-score draw. Fortunately, this time, as fuel was suddenly so amazingly cheap, it's been a complete no-brainer. [/QUOTE]
