[QUOTE="simonk88, post: 7720877, member: 5098"] Why would you think that? Do we need two combines? No, so there isn't any reason to have two. We are lucky with large fields, 250-300ha cropping blocks that are by and large all accessible with the header on. The grain storage was centralised 20 years ago and has been updated with a new dryer that is capable of far more than the combine. The dryer is expensive, but not as much as a second combine and the combine only works a few weeks a year, the dryer can do contract work 12 months of the year. My point was capital investment sometimes isn't about the biggest shiniest largest machine fleet but what part of the operation the capital expenditure will realise the most value. If Clive had a contractor come in the knowledge that up to 22% he can deal with the grain however fast it comes, wouldn't that be more attractive than trying to get wet grain into outdated small stores with large machinery?
