Rice (paddy) dehusker

[CO-CO]

Encroaching? I made a remark some time ago about Farang children of a young age not having a problem with growing up bilingual and you called me ignorant. people don't forget stuff like that.
School teachers don't like having their proclamations disputed. I bet you think that home schooling is a load of crabole also, and you wouldn't hesitate to say so.
Call me stupid, ok, call me ignorant and I get annoyed. I have the living proof at home here that this isn't true.
Why did you have to turn a simple question about buying a rice dehusker into an argument?
Thanks, no i am not interested in meeting you and being told where to park my car, how to get out of the car, how to scratch my arse.

Now I understand why this forum has so few members

I was talking about making money as to the machine paying for itself.  The ones I saw a couple of years ago weren't cheap.. So if it you could get your money back in a few years then all is good.. :-)

I have my own husker, bought it about 3 years ago. The wife husks our own rice and sells the skins and the softer powder to the locals for mixing with pig feed. She sometimes sells small bags of rice 1-5kg to the locals who cannot afford the big bags. She also husks rice for other people, not sure how much she charges, but she gets to keep some of the rice and skins.

Not a business, just pin money, but the machine has paid for itself many times over.

But I live an hour from downtown Buriram.

Please give us an indication of where you are, roughly, maybe we pass by your way occasionally.

I live halfway between Prakhonchai and Buriram, then 15 mins of dirt roads, if you "pass by" my house, I'll give you dinner and beer!

Adam is their Anychance you can show the machine in action and what the rice looks like when finished??   I've been wanting to buy one for years .. Thanks

I'm not home at the moment. The machine is quite noisy, you pour the rice in the top and you need 3 buckets, one catches the skin of the rice, one catches the husked rice (ready to eat) and one catches the small broken rice good for feeding chickens etc,
It is important to clean the machine well after use, and only use dry rice, if there is any moisture the machine does not do a good job. It is easy to clean. I only have a small machine bought at a hardware store near Prasat.
I have (hopefully) attached a picture of a machine that looks like mine. It is very easy to use.

Adam, you may have asked this question already, but, what is the approximate cost of such a machine.

[Adam]

I honestly can't remember, but the figure 13,000 baht is rattling around in the noggin somewhere!!

Thank you - it gives a basic idea.
