it is a legume. need to run the land roller over the ground after seeding. then harvers them. we used 30 foor rigid headers. we got 35 b_a. they sell for 5 bucks a bushel.i dont care what they do with them as long as i get paid for them. i think they make chips and soup out of them over in the aribic countrys.

7720 will do just as good as a job or better then a new holland. conventional combines do not plug the cylinder as easy as a rotor. believe me i know

What a load of bull!! We've been growing chickpeas and mungbeans here for the last 10 or so years. I've harvested with a TR70, a TR85 and now with our current machine a 9500 with a 30ft ridged front. And our sample have improved over the years, not gotten worse, even though we have gone back to a conventional combine. The TR had a shockingly bad habit of plugging the concave gaps (which isn't the most pleasent of jobs to clean)... even with the small concave wires removed, whenever we hit green material or undesicated plants. Where the 9500 just keeps on going. For a long time the story was the rotary's did a better job then the conventional machines in terms of cracking. My only respones to that is it's about time some people learnt how to set there machines. I use no you-beaut sieves, concave inserts or who know's what that some people put in. And still managed to score one of the best samples that was delivered to the grain depot last year! Rotary's are a very forgiving machines when it comes to havesting peas and beans but they also will smear_discolour the seed if there is to much green material coming in with the pods. So to "2rotorsrule" grow up and get your facts straight before making idiotic statements like that!!

ANY Combine can harvest ANY crop if it is set right and you have a good operator.

Ya, compare combines accurately! You only pulled wiresIJ!IJ! Put in the corn_soybean concaves then we'll see what pluggs. You gotta set up a machine the RIGHT way for the RIGHT conditions

yup yup, we have TR-98 and have no problem, even when the material gets green. If you're plugging something it must be mostly water and_or adjustments are wrong. look at the bright side. You can go chick pea's back into chick peas without setting another tire in the field, translation, you're combine will seed it for you!!!
