When we were combine shopping 8-9 years ago we looked at several combines locally before we went to a dealer liquidation sale up in ND that had a whole pile of Canadian combines on it. All of those combines out of Canada were setup for small grains.
All of those small grain combines had significantly less wear/hour than the combines that I had looked at in this area. This area is 99.99% corn and soybeans.
Soybeans are abrasive and you run dirt through the combines. Corn isn't nearly as abrasive but you run massive bushels through the combine.
Wheat/oats are neither abrasive or massive bushels.
