I think you have it right Len. Hydroswing works so well for cutting hay 
that it should also be attractive for combining. My only concern would 
be can they transmit the required horsepower through hydraulics to power 
what is basically a big combine?
The hydro swing option would give the option of working back and forth 
in a standing crop with a pull type combine which is impossible with 
conventional pull types.
Removing the chaff from the field is also a point in its favour for zero 
tillers and continuous croppers.
