gonetoearth 5,144 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 The green tractor which is a 1947 single cylinder Field Marshal and drives the lot by a large belt,the first pic is of the bailer,this is seperate from the thresher itself and it only loosely packs the straw into bails that go for thatching,the red machine the thresher itself threshes the corn and seperates the corn from the stalk and seperates the chaff from the grain also.It can also grade the grain into differet sizes when used for different grains,the thresher used to do the jobs the modern combine does apart from the cutting.The farmer has to thresh his corn this way as like i say it goes for thatching and it's the only way to seperate the grain without ruining the stalk and at around 500 pound a ton he looks after it,he weighs a bail or three then works it out with the thatcher how much they recon the load weighs all proper old school with no short cuts . there was an identical marshal at the great yorkshie on thurs was it that one fireman Quote Link to post
