We had one of these on our fifty acre farm growing spring barley in the 60's. I was 13 & used to drive it with my younger sister on the bagging platform, we had lots of wild oats & couch grass & the front auger was always blocking!
I remember our Massey Harris bagger combine as a boy. I used to run behind pretending I was driving it. It was used up tp the early 1970s and then replaced by a Class combine which was huge compared to the Old Massey Harris. We had to build a bigger shed.
These combines must have been nothing short of revolutionary when they appeared these would most likely be the size of combine that would viably replace the binder the thresher and all those carts and stack yards great to seethed still cutting cereals not just gathering dust and rust in a museum
😳👌👍 Still going strong 💪 those bags aren't going to be light to handle eather. Tougher work back then. Great video. Would of loved to see them both working In person. Stay safe 🏴
Those are probably 2 cwt sacks ( 101kg ) My Grandfather, who was only a small man, used to carry them on his back up a flight of stone steps to the barn loft!
@@martingardener90 I was just wondering how many bushels would be in the bag Thanks. My father can mind that job stacking the bags up high on the combine to get to the end of the field to unload. I was more fortunate and was brought up with sperry newhollands so only trailer work for the grain. 👍
@@ianhaggart1438 By googling it and some calculations I have come up with 3.71 bushels? the problem being that US pounds etc are slightly different to Imperial so hope I have that right.
