I've been knocking around the idea of planting my grandfather's land in corn. He has 160 acres with about 50-60 of those acres tillable. Can't use a combine, because the land is set up in parallel terraces. I want to plant 2-3 acres the first year (feed it to the goats) to get my feet wet and then if all goes well Grandad has told me to plant all the acreage I want (he's 81).I would like to buy a pull behind combine or corn harvester (one or two row) that I can pull behind my Kubota M. I've looked at several on Used Tractors at TractorHouse.com: John Deere Tractors, used farm tractors and farm equipment, Case IH, New Holland, Agco, Caterpillar. , but don't know if I'm looking at the right thing.Here are some examples I see:OK, I assume you pull a wagon behind these?Do they shell the corn like a combine or what????We used to grow corn for the hogs, when I was a kid, but we used the manual picker.A bunch of use with hampers dumping in a trailer. Then we took it to the corn crib and scooped it out with a shovel. The we shucked the corn by hand and ran it through a manual sheller.I could do this on 2-3 acres, but not 40-50.We have a covington 1 or 2 row planter that we have always used.I know that the "big boys" are using huge multi-row planters with GPS etc.... And they are doing no till. Can I use a seed drill to plant corn??? I have access to one. Or do I need to go conventional and till the land and plant with the covington. What about row spacing???I know I have a lot of questions.I would like to keep the investment minimal on the equipment side. We pretty much have everything we need to row crop. Subsoiler, turning plow, discs, covington planter, tractors, Farmall 140, etc....I work at a school and am off work from about May 23 until Aug. 5. I have the time to do this, I just have never really done corn. We do sweet corn and about every possible veg. their is, but I haven't done "field corn" on this large a scale before.Any help would be appreciated.Chris

Combine harvesters are agricultural machines mainly used to harvest grain crops such as cereals. They allow simultaneous harvesting and threshing. Choosing the right combine harvester can be daunting as there are a number of options available.
You&#;ll want to take into account your harvest budget and expected profitability in order to best calculate which machine matches your business plan. Choosing the harvester in accordance with the type of grain and straw separation desired is also quite important. In addition to this, you&#;ll need to consider storage capacity.
