Our first harvester I can remember was a Big E back in 1952. Dad drove the 40KA Chamberlain tractor and the working man sat on the harvester operating the choke cutter and manually lifting the comb as there weren't any hydraulics. All the grain was bagged on the home corner and carted to the wheat bin in town in bags. At the wheat bins, after weighing the loaded truck at the weighbridge you would take the truckload around to the bin. At the bin there was an elevator. You would empty each bag into the hopper on the elevator and that would convey the wheat up into the bin. When empty, you would go back to the weighbridge and weigh the empty truck and go back to the farm for another load. Very labour intensive. By the time I left school in Dec 1963 we had gone over to bulk. No more bags.

@@joyjones8396 it’s an amazing section of Aussie farming ay, it’s crazy to think people used to move 80+ kg bags of wheat around all day,.. I went to the quambatook vintage harvest days years ago and they had just used the winower (seen in this video) to fill a bag of grain, I watched it get rammed and then they needed a volunteer to hop on the back of the truck, so they could show how the bag loaded worked. I happened to be the young strong lookin fella they picked lol, so I got up on the truck n grabbed the 80+ bag of wheat and stacked it… also I ended up in “The Old Machinery Magazine” standing on the back of the truck.

About 45 years ago the Australian Broadcasting Commision made a documentary of H.V McKay. I have it here on VHS tape. It gave a full account of the development of the Sunshine Harvester. Headly Tailor also worked for Hugh McKay for many years developing many new machines in that time. It would be good if the ABC were to air that program again . Thanks for the video.

[@Reds_engineering]

Thanks for watching. If you search “Headlie Taylor” on KZbin there is an abc thing about the headers and how they have just made a bronze statue of Headlie that’s in the town of Henty. Worth a watch.. I will be making more videos about this type of machinery in the future, I’m currently working on 2 chaff documentary’s

🤣 the narration & bg music 110% has that corporate training film vibe 👍

[@JohnWilliams-iw6oq]

I went to school with Ridley's grand son, 1950's and 1960's, he told us how his grand father hadn't patented his idea! Also I worked on a 505 about 20 years ago as part of a restoration. Tragically I saw a horse drawn Sunshine harvester which ended it's life by being buried by dozer, I nearly cried when I found out.

[@Reds_engineering]

@@JohnWilliams-iw6oq wow, tis a small world. From some of what iv read and watched he didn’t patent the machine as the need for a harvesting machine was so improtant that he just kind of let everyone else have there go at making a harvester, coz he couldn’t produce enough to keep up with the demand as it was.. witch leads to Headlie Taylor and his header invention, which will be by next video coming. All the restored harvester footage was from a vintage day at quamvetook VIC, they have one of the first auto headers there aswell! Restored in amazing condition

What is this fresh hell of b roll footage and text to speech?

[@Reds_engineering]

The intro was cap cut text ti speech, and rest of voice over was takin from a farming dvd that I edited the shit out of and the b roll was either from an old farming dvd, or videos iv filmed on my farm or at vintage shows, that answer the question? I wish I could get a ai voice over that good, most ai voices don’t pronounce farming words well from what I’d seen

[@joyjones8396]

We owned the last binder in the MBL district in Western Australia. In 1969 we bought a baler, mower and rake. no more sheaves.

[@Reds_engineering]

Yeah mate, big country over w.a , iv herd of farmers were it woulda take them one full day of ploughing just to do the outta lap of the paddocks… here in central Victoria binders were still used untill early 2000’s, only because we’re in the central chaff mill district and the mills preferred the sheaf hay untill work safe made it basically illegal to be that high on the back of a truck loading the hay.. I still have a working binder and cut about 10 acres of sheaf hay a cupple years ago, ended up with over 40 ton of sheaf hay, and I carted it all into the hay shed by my self. It was then cut into chaff

[@Reds_engineering]

@@Mr_Sniff yeah keep the ideas coming people, I have some info I can go through and make a video about stump jump ploughs, I need to get into animation, so I can animate some of these processes, there’s only so many photos I can use without repeating the same over and over. I have another harvester video iv almost finished right now. Then I have another chaff video to do then I might do one on Aussie ploughs. Do have a plan to make a video about the chamberlain factory W.A aswell
