Oh yeh, without a doubt.
They both will shell fine; the bigger one handled butterpeas and butter beans better than the smaller one. For cowpeas they both worked equally, taking into consideration their sizes...the smaller one only allowing so many beans at a time through while the bigger one you can use the whole rollers width.
I liked the smaller one and even contemplated getting another one the year after it broke but decided to bite the bullet and go for the larger one. Hah, I even figured out***thinking; "hmm, plenty of room around here to easily grow peas, garden peas followed by cowpeas/butterbeans; if I sell shelled peas for $5.00/bag and it takes 3 pounds unshelled to equal one pound shelled I need to sell 46 bags to pay for the sheller and that means 136 pounds unshelled and a bushel weight is approx 25-30 pounds per bushel...."
See, I'm such a miser I need to know I have a way to pay for something before I buy it! :>)
Maybe ya'll should try the smaller one, it sure beats hand shelling if you've done it that way all your lives. That way when you move on up to the bigger one you'll sure have an appreciation for it, probably both!
