What Kind of combine harvester to buy for harvesting 20 acres of wheat anually ?

What kind of combine harvesters are my option if i need it mainly to harvest about 20 acres of wheat , i prefer "reputable brand (name brand) , sack and unload , compact design" . what are my options here ? and it would be great if it could harvest something other than Wheat too

thank you in advance ;)

Update:

well , i own 50 acres, laborwork is really costy around here (side note : i live in egypt and everything is done by hand over here.) i saw these chinese small size combine harvesters and i am wondering wether there are some "brand label" of them as i am not a fan of Chinese products :)

(i have heard about the Yanmar CA 385 but cant find any info about it)

    20 acres? That's really really small. What are you going to get, 800- 1000 bushels if you're lucky? Your best option could be to rent, not buy. At $5000 and up (mostly up) for a used harvester, its hard to justify buying one.
