Title: Help needed on where to find a threshing machine
Post by: Andy0561 on January 20, 2010, 02:12:58 pm

Hi,   We decided to try growing winter wheat and touch wood, so far so good. We drilled a few acres worth and I'm now planning ahead to the harvest and don't fancy threshing the wheat by hand.  Short of hiring a contractor to rip me off and charge the earth does anybody know of any tractor attachments or hand machines that can be used?

Thanks
Andy

Try cosying up to a local farmer who owns a combine harvester, I am sure you would get some help!
