How we do Stuff: Threshing Wheat with a Treadle Thresher

[@akmamma5572]

That's awesome that they are working so fast. We need more people like this in our society. Love the work ethic. Keep more videos like this coming.

Very impressive. I'm building a treadle lathe right now, and have extra flywheels for other projects. I do not grow wheat, but this machine is a great example of the possibilities.

You guys should acquire a mesh screen, that can be gyrated to separate the Seed from the Stems, as you seem to be losing a lot of the seed in your particular process. It could also work along the same lines as that machines lower shaker, if you were to build one your own via a pedal.

[@MichaelBunker]

There is a mesh screen in the shaker. The problem is that in this iteration of the device, it knocks off a lot of the heads and doesn't knock the seed from the heads themselves. We're not losing any seed, but there is an extra step of having to pull separated heads from the device and thresh them by hand.

We are in a Amish Paradise !!!

This thresher was puchased at backtotheland period com for all of you who have been asking.

They are down and out right now.

[@RockCrushing777]

Now that is what i call well done.

[@jksatte]

They definitely have a good rythm going there. That machine cost almost $900 though. I guess if you grow enough grains it could be useful but wow. Much better for a group or large family working together. Janice

I saw one of these hooked to a windmill, the kind of windmill that pumps water has the same action. Wait for a windy day thresh and let the wind blow the scrap pieces away. OR stick with the reliable kid power, either way works for me:)

Amazing Job!Sweet!

[@shug831]

It would be good to have a video of how it works and the different parts within the machine, also what are the 2 people at the back a doing? Please.

[@rev21v56]

team work, strong legs exercise...towards a great meal..

[@crazycowify]

Thanks for sharing. What is the guy in the back doing?

[@bradsimpson8724]

kevin d I'd suggest that he's there to hand the workers bundles of dried wheat, while the kids run and collect it, and to swap out on the treadle when someone runs out of breath. Then again, every job needs a foreman...

[@kattasudhir]

supervise :)

[@RelaxingHomestead]

What brand thresher is that? Do you have a link to where you purchased it? Thanks

[@RelaxingHomestead]

Do you have a link of where you purchased your treadle? Thanks

[@CorinGatwood]
