I talked to a guy today who says he has a whole set of ac 66 combine screens that he'd sell me. I'm growing buckwheat this year and probably 10-20 acres of it next year so what screen do I use? How about for oats and edible beans. He also has some extra canvases and a pick up head what are these worth? what should I be looking for to make sure the head is all there?

Thanks so much for the info. I wonder if the all crop won't harvest edible beans like black beans and pintos.

Yup, I got a pj deck over trailer 102" wide 22' long with a 3' dovetail and 6' spring asist folding ramps. It's also set up for a winch with a deck roller. I'm getting a 8500# super winch to mount on there. So I'm set!

That's a right nice trailer -- now you can get all kinds of nice stuff - no excuses, LOL. Actually, my manual lists 100 crops that the 60 can harvest - pretty sure beans are in the list. Manual is out in the barn - will look it up later.

Right, that's what I told my wife but she didn't seem to buy it LOL.
