Harvesting details
You commented that the rate limiting step for threshing is the preparation of the bundles to insert into the machine. I thresh with a Toro leaf blower/shredder and had similar issues. This year I tried making bundles for threshing when I harvested the wheat. I put a bunch of rubber bands around my left wrist, gathered a bunch of stalks that seemed the right amount with my left hand; then cut with the sickle and slipped a rubber band around the end. The bunches were about 2-3″ in diameter. These were gathered and tied into sheaves to stand and dry down/ mature. When I ws ready to thresh, the bunches were already gathered and ready to insert. It went MUCH faster.
