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. If you're both the type that can work like that without having hard feelings about things, I think it will work fine for you. If not, you're better off on your own. I'm not saying nerves don't get a little frayed here at times. They do... but you need to learn to look at the BIGGER PICTURE. Where would you be alone? Can you afford to go it alone? Those are two VERY important questions.... Take a long hard look at that and think it over carefully. Also keep in mind... with custom operators... you're still at their mercy, so that's really NO different that a partnership where you both want to work on the same day. Been there. Done that too. Bought the T-Shirt. Sometimes that's no fun either.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
