If you keep track of EVERY little nit-picking expense including traveling expense for parts, you can't afford a combine. Pay the neighbor to do it. Pay him well, maybe $1 per acre more, make sure your field lanes are not a hassle for him. Do a good job of farming, like keeping weeds at bay, planting far enough away from the fence so he doesn't have to worry about catching a row divider on a post, and things like that. Do not get cheap with him. If he has a good experience in your field he will be more likely to be back next year or he will talk favorably about you to another neighbor who might come and do it.
If you don't care about how much profit you make in the end and you like doing it yourself, then buy a Gleaner F or even an M. Conventional Gleaners do about the cleanest job of combing wheat I ever seen and they are cheap to buy and they are simple machines. Dealer availability might be another story depending where you live. Jim
