bought the same exact sheller bout 2 yrs ago on an auction, haven't fired it up yet, just a novelty in the shed with the threshers for now...

Rather progressive farmer in the area hits it with the six row Uni once the jug is full, come Feb he's shelling without having to pay for drying.

Excuse the sarcasm...but isn't this against the law according to Monsanto?
