I'm not a combine mechanic, but in my meaningless opinion a wheat machine has been babied compared to a corn/beans machine when compared on a per separator hour basis.
Corn is greater wear per separator hour due to the higher volume of bushels run through the machine.
Soybeans are greater wear per separator hour because soybeans demolish steel wear parts.
