[AT] Corn Picking and storage.

[charliehill]

Charlie, the difference being I assume that you car does not have a governor 
like our tractors do.  The new cars do have rev limiters but our tractors at 
"fast idle" do not turn near the rpms they are capable of turning (if only 
for a while) if the governors were removed.
