John, the dealer only wants it to run good enough for the check to clear.
He doesn't care if it shakes it's self apart next year. Well I guess I
shouldn't say that. There are some good dealers out there but you know what
I mean.
I can't answer your question. I don't have much combine experience. That
was just a general observation about the way things get done.
