The 'Sickle to Satellite' working event was organized in 1998, offering an opportunity to see a hundred years of cereal harvesting equipment in operation. This video shows the highlights, ranging from the sickle and a scything gang, through trailed reapers and binders to a representative sample of combine harvesters. Interviews with some of the machines' owners are also included. Among the machines shown operating are a 1930 McCormick Daisy sail reaper, a 1946 Lanz self-binder and a Case Model Q reaper-thresher. Combines at work are Massey-Harris 21 and 780, a Claas Super junior and a Ransomes 902. Finally, a satellite-linked Massey-Ferguson 40 shows the advance of technology.
