Вставка

- A departure from all the modern stuff. This is pure old school technology at its best. Just pure poetry in motion and still capable of a days work, not bad for 80 years old!
Hi George i am 70 now and i remember them days very well the biggest day of the year was threshing day great video
George , this takes me back to when I left school and started work on a local farm in the early 60s , our binder was all driven by that big land wheel, no pto , great times .
Well George, you know the old saying if it isn’t broke don’t fix it well that’s most certainly what we have here and anyway if the taller wheat storks are going for thatching roofs then I think it’s better that this 80 year old machine cuts the the wheat crop, so then the thatchers have an excellent quality product to use when they are thatching roofs with and until next time George, TaRa for a bit.
Brings back good memories, we had a Massey-Harris binder and an old petrol/paraffin Ferguson tractor
Awsome video George & Liz nice 👍 old bit of kit good 👍 to see it working 👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🚜
Great to see the old and original farming equipment still working with a purpose . Well done George a classic video 🚜👍 .
Saw an old black & white movie about the olden days of farming in the Soviet Union a few months ago and they had these huge fields with a fleet of those harvesters and hundreds of people in the fields gathering the bundles up and stacking them on wagons being pulled by a team of horses. Amazing to watch!
What an amazing bit of kit. I hope I'm still working that well when I'm 80.
Ill bet that's never missed a beat. No electrical gremlins to worry about!! Another great vid Lad!
A brilliant video George, nothing wrong with a bit of the old stuff. There can’t be many binders about that have been filmed with a drone!! Excellent filming and some wonderful still photos of the sheaves in the field. I like it 👍👏
Absolutely beautiful video George. A lot of those binders were ground driven by the single metal wheel. My father had a PTO driven Massey Harris binder. I worked it as a kid. A neighbour had a PTO driven Bisset binder.
Beautiful 🤩. Great to see that working again 👌👌🤙🤙👍👍
There is something quite fascinating about this old machinery so simple and reliable yet effective 👌
Last time I saw one of those working was 50yrs ago when I was a boy (I think it was entirely ground drive). You should have included a bit of footage of it being setup for road transport George. That’s an art form all in itself. 👍
Hi George, It’s just great for you to bring back so many memories, I remember when we would go rabbiting following a binder like. that good old days, 🌈🌈👍
And you haven't changed a bit from the 40s 😆😀😁👍
Yea great bit of vintage kit when you look back all these little villages sprung up all for these farm workers to help in harvest
Should be in a museum interesting old bit of kit and Mrs saunders out and about
Hallo george Nice Film with 80 years old Binder the first mechanical in farmer work
Ye Gods, I worked behind one when I was about fourteen years old, it was even older than that as it had been changed from horse drawn to a tractor draw bar and it was driven by a land wheel. Thanks George for bringing back some happy memories,
I used to get the call to help out on threshing days on one local farm until my late teens. Definitely a bit of nostalgia there , however I also remember how dusty it was and how the chaff got everywhere. A hot bath was much needed at the end of the day.
the one my great grandfather had is still in the woods rotting away.
Too far gone or worth saving?
Brilliant video, my grandfather had an Albion PTO binder, said it was far superior to anything else at the time. But, time moved on, and in the 60’s getting a contractor in with a matador meant less work, and virtually no losses to rats between harvest and threshing time. But down the road with his binder, went the building of the corn stacks, thatching them and the need for so many men.
Great video George, used to see Peter at Whitwell rally with his Oliver and Dyno, great stuff 👍
Amazing to see. Hopefully there will be some country shows and working days this summer
re bonjour George et liz merci pour cette belle vidéo , dans mon village on fête tout les deux ans la fête de la moisson , il y a un site internet c est houlle comme autrefois , un bon courage a vous 😍👍👍👍👍
Brilliant video George! great seeing the old stuff out working instead of collecting dust.
Good video George 👍 that ED40 had the 23c standard engine in it but it had a glow plug in each cylinder which made it a better starter 🤔 we have 2 binders at the club up here one is PTO driven an the other one is land wheel drive 👍 loved the video in black an white 👍
George you should do a series of old fashion farming around the country,
I sent you a small clip of what i filmed this week, was a old tractor and baler,
Some great filming too George and Liz
Fantastic video, lovely to see this old kit still being used!
A really enjoyable video brilliant to see the vintage machinery 👍👍
I worked on one of them when I left school 1978 and worked on a farm at drings of moulton Lincolnshire
Great video. I'm 72 and can remember stooking the sheaves behind the binder and threshing in the early fifteen.
wonderful stuff and what a brill job i could see the sheaves standing up going past today from the A1
Wonderful george thanks 👍🏴
That’s amazing to watch some machine. Great video George 👍
Great to see the old kit still in use and doing a good job. The Allis is sounding sweet as a nut👌🏻, many thanks for sharing the video mate 👍🏻
WOW nice to see the old stuff stuff out working.
About 20 minutes before the notification for your video came down my grandad was telling me about the days when he used to use a binder👍 brilliant video as always George
Seen many of these rusting away in fields but I never did see one working up close. Love the old Allis Chalmers as well.
Really interesting George , you are very lucky to find someone who shares th same passion 👍👍
Great to see these things working.
Really fabulous watching such a Nice classic in action! 👍
Very Nice video George have a good weekend Thanks
The Albon binder, theres a good chance that machine was made in the next town to me. Harrison McGregor and Guest of Leigh Lancashire, which was swallowed up by David Brown later to become Case under the Tenneco label. All gone now theres a shopping centre where the old factory stood. ......... sound like a right old guy........ maybe because I am!!
Fantastic to watch George 👍
Great video.Nice to see history in motion.
Well you don’t see that nowadays George! I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a binder working in the field. Fantastic video. Fenland Rob
Thoroughly enjoyed this video mr Saunders it was a great watch from the start to the end.
The way you changed the video into old times style was so fitting with the topic.
Your smashing these lately 👍
Fantastic video George and brilliant to see this old kit still being used today.
That was very enjoyable watching that George thanks for sharing 👍.
Takes me back to my early years my father had a binder the same as that 1 !!! He used a 35 on front of it , I use to get to sit on the seat but not allowed to move the handles !!!! That was in the days when health and safety was not heard of !!! Well not on fathers farm !! Good video !!!!
Hi George, nice to see the old Albion out binding again this year, I have photographed it myself in past years as you may know, keep up the good work and well done to Pete and team.
Really good and presented vid mate, thank you!
Really enjoyed that
Great bit of old kit. Jill done well
Another great video George it’s really nice to see an 80 year old antique machine still doing perfectly
what it’s made to do liked the section filmed in sepia mode really added a nice touch 👍
Fantastic that George and you've got a first class land army lass there too. My dad still has his 1936 Fordson and my 1958 Massey Harris still mows the local verges.
Farm mechanization never ceases to amaze.. taking some of the Labour intense work away must have been a God send back then...👍
Absolutely cracking George nice to see the old gear still going 👍
Your sheaves should be twice that size, well ours was, keep up the good work
Does he like being called an old binder🤣 Lovely that nice to see !!! Loving the "L Bracket" camera mount 🤣🤣
My grandad use to drive of these great machine
These were the magic days of farming before tec made you feel like you should be doing every thing yesterday.
Great to see old-school equipment being put through its paces - enjoyable vid.
Great to see how it was done years ago! ,no creature comforts them days! Armstrong steering too…..😉
Fantastic bit of kit, back in 2007 and 08 I helped run a threashing machine at a few steam shows, one we did was a three day show and we ran out of sheaves on the first day, the farmer let us go and cut as much as we wanted that evening, we was out for the best part of 4 hours cutting with the binder and a fordson n on the front, we set them in to stooks over night and picked them up early next morning with a allis and flat trailer, great fun
Great video George, it always fascinated me as a child how the Binder was re-configured from the transport position to the working position, and vise versa.
Lovely to see the old machines running
Nice to see a classic old machine at work
Nice video and great old machines. Greets Stefan
Great video Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Brilliant video, i could watch that all day would love to get the chance to put one of the Fergies on a binder one day 🙂. Old Allis seems a perfect match for it
Lovely video. Nostalgic .Nice to see .Must not forget the hard work involved in actually getting the crop trashed etc. The rose tinted spectacles often give the wrong impression
Great video George nice I can remember walking be hind the binder when I was a small lad
yes pulling out the hung up ones had to cut the twine as the knife wanted sharpening.
Can't beet the old machines. 80 years old and still doing it's job. A bit like my brother's Ferguson 78year's old and still working daily.
I can recall my dad talking about the binder when he used to work on a threshing crew. Another really interesting video George, nice to see so many thanks for taking the time to do the video!
Brilliant video George bet Liz liked that Allis no power steering on her just Muscle that binder goes well & sounds nice.
Throughly enjoyed that video George, missing the local steam rallies this year. A real treat. Thank you.
boy those were the days!! well done
Excellent video 👍🏻
Fantastic, thank you George.👍
Fantastic bit of kit..a lot of design went into that. I bet more so than anything since
You have got to remember the crops that binder was built for yielded about half what we get from modern variety s and the crops were also full of thistles nettles and all other weeds you could think of my Dad said a blocked drum wasn’t fun in the days before work gloves
Really enjoyable video 👍
That's awesome 👌
Thanks for the vid George. Take care sir..
Brilliant George 👍👍 agriculture around the 1940s has always intrigued me, it seemed an exciting “modern” time to be farming especially with a world war going on.
Just amazing George.
Amazing video great to see it working 👍
Wonderful machine
And the Albion will still be running in 30 years time when all the techy stuff has long given up 👍😃
Great video George.
What story's that machine could tell 🤔😁. The amount of people involved at that time of year as well. Good job on the video nice idea. 👍 Stay safe 🏴
Really great George!
yea happy days in uk 1955 me 10 years old on fordson standard 35 hp grand pa on binder happy days. we now life on the field as a mobile home stead
Nice to see it in action
Lovely video george, good to see an old classic at work going strong. Can you film the thrashing process if you get chance please?
What an amazing thing to see and watch.
Lovely video. Always good to see the old kit. Getting some. exercise.
I often wonder. If a modern combine would handle, those old tall stem crops. Or would they get blocked up.
Saw this straw stud up on way past on the A1 today great Video
Back when life was slow a injoyable. To day everything is fast paced
No when my Dad was driving, on his Massey he had converted levers to front. He went faster that that hardly a pause before next sheave was out.
