Farm Machinery - Harvest

This programme uses extracts from a collection of silent films made by the National Institute of Agricultural Engineering over a period of about ten years from 1945. Some of the films record machinery working in the field, others show experimental farm machines designed by the NIAE at Askham Bryan in Yorkshire and from 1948 at Silsoe. They cover the grain crop, grass and silage. The machines include those that went successfully into production as well as rarities whose development was curtailed.The NIAE's film record was professionally made. The prints from which this compilation has been drawn are in the collection of the British Agricultural Archive Film Unit and are reproduced by courtesy of Richard Watts.Brian Bell, author of 24 books and DVDs on farm machinery, has researched the footage to provide an informative commentary narrated by Chris Opperman. The original material is silent, some in black and white, though later films are in colour.The grain harvest Oliver grain-down reel Albion binder with crop-gatherer reel Experimental direct-attached binder Experimental Claas trailed combineClaas super combine with trusserAllis-Chalmers Allcrop 60Grain Marshall combineJohn Deere 55 self-propelled bagger combineJohn Deere 12A trailed combineCockshutt SP 112 bagger combineZickerman automatic loose straw stackerWild harvest thresher Model 50Shearer header harvester The hay cropQuorn windrower attachmentBlackstone spring-tine turnerMartin swath turnerNicholson swath turner and side rakeF W Pike lifter-transporterBalers and loadersAllis-Chalmers round balerNew Holland twine-tying balerInternational 50T balerMcCormick Deering 45 pick-up balerLand Rover and 45 pick-up baler Bale loadersSilage and forage harvestingTraxcavatorHarvesting kale for silageAllis-Chalmers forage harvester (1)Allis-Chalmers forage harvester (2)Fox River forage harvesterMcCormick Deering forage harvesterJohn Deere ensiling harvesterMcCormick Deering No. 2 forage harvester.
