looks like a Rube Goldburg adaptation of a Belarus. The price is way too high for what it is, the hydraulic motors will cause MAJOR heating problems in the Wheat belt. lack of dealers and parts (only plan to build 5 next year) may put the machine out of commission for weeks at a time. They are too tall and too wide to haul(or get into most barns). The grain tank is in an unhandy place to try to check samples etc. The engine will be hot and noisy directly behind the cab. There will be 0 mechanics who know anything about them to help work on or set them. All in all another long winter canadian project that should have stayed on the drawing board, it will end up breaking the inventer. On the positive side, I like the simplicity of the design but I do not think it is in any way ready to be sold on the open market. looks a lot like a larger version of some of the combines we used 50 years ago with a bunch of hydraulic motors scattered around on it.

Good call on the Belarus, thats what my dad thought it looked like. It is actually $225000 canadian. what is it worth after you drive it off the lot.
