[AT] massey combines at portland

[Ralph Goff]

There was only one farmer that I heard of in this area owned a hillside (or 
sidehill) John Deere 6620 combine and he did have some valley sidehill land 
to harvest. Otherwise I think the extra cost would not be justified on our 
land. Most of the sidehill machines I see on the net and tv seem to be Case 
IH.
