From Haystacks to Chaff: The Hidden Fuel that Powered Horses and Transformed Australian Farming
Step back in time and discover the forgotten art of traditional haymaking that powered farms before the age of diesel tractors. In this video, we explore how Australian farmers mastered the craft of building haystacks and producing chaff to fuel their horses-the lifeblood of rural life.
From the delicate process of stacking hay to the essential role of chaff in feeding farm animals and driving farm equipment, this video sheds light on the time-honored practices that kept farms running. Learn how these age-old methods shaped a slower, more sustainable way of life and how hay was crucial to the success of early farming communities.
Join us as we delve into the rich history of haymaking and horse-powered agriculture, showcasing beautiful footage of traditional haystacks and a way of life that continues to inspire today.
If you’re passionate about farming history, traditional methods, or just curious about how things worked in the past, this is the video for you!

Chamberlain was a brand of tractors from Australia, produced initially by Chamberlain Industries Ltd. The Western Australian Government having heard of Bob Chamberlain's plan to build tractors persuaded the Chamberlains to use an ex-munitions factory in Welshpool, Western Australia. Thus the first Tractors rolled off the production line in 1949. The first Chamberlain tractor produced was the mo...
Cutting Sheaf Hay with the Binder - HV McKay Sunshine
มุมมอง 85หลายเดือนก่อน
In 1884, frustrated by the slow and laborious nature of harvesting wheat, Hugh Victor McKay aged 18, assembled a stripper harvester on his father's property at Drummarton, Victoria. The Sunshine Stripper Harvester was immensely popular, and in the early 1890s McKay established his Sunshine Harvester Works in Ballarat. In 1906, McKay moved his manufacturing operations from Ballarat to Braybrook ...

    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.

      @@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

That’s why there were so many hay stacks around on the good years- for the dryer years to come.

    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.

      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

    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.
