Dad has more for me to ad
Grandpa was strongly considering between massey harris 27 and case sp12 new in 1952. But the massey harris won out due to ability to ad a sacker unit from allis chalmers allcrop behind the main bulk tank due to customer requirements that wanted it sacked. And there was no simple place for sacker on the sp12.

Also the case combine had trouble feeding at the header as did similar IH combines. Where as the massey combines flowed and handled the crop. Dad remembers some case owners built platforms on the feederhouse for an extra person to stand on to use a stock or pole to try to poke and help feed the crop thru before piling up ontop of feeder house.
Also the Minneapolis moline combines had fluid drive that did not hold the combines back when headed downhill, and ran hot when trying to pull uphill
