It depends on the personalities... I don't know why so many people are so sour on the idea. Mabey they've never tried it before.
We own a combine between two of us now. It used to be three until one retired... WE also own a planter between three. As far as things getting broken... it's more or less been, he who broke it fixed it. Wear items we'd split costs on. Sometimes one guy puts more labor in and less parts. You just need to work out what works for you... and I think you need to always keep in mind that his crop is just as important as yours. If his is ready and yours a few days away, he gets the machine... or the reverse would be true.

Those are two VERY important questions.... Take a long hard look at that and think it over carefully.

Bought the T-Shirt. Sometimes that's no fun either.
