[AT] Corn Shellers?

[David Rotigel]

Grant, Are you looking for a hand operated sheller? Or one powered by  
an electric motor? Or one powered by a engine? Or one powered by a PTO  
from a tractor? How much popcorn do you need to shell--now AND in the  
future? Here are a few options on e-bay. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=corn+sheller&_sacat=See-All-Categories 
  Ane here is a new one (hand job)  that will do 10-15 bu. an hour http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/corn_sheller_hand_operated_crank_manual_antique_walnut_stationary.aspx 
   Why not give them a call and tell them the size of your ears and  
ask if their sheller will do the job? Their ad says it will do the job  
on ALL SIZED ears. Hell for $87.00 plus change why not try it?

PS, You can also hull your nuts with the thing!
