Hi Dave
Binder is a Massey Harris Sunshine 5ft cut. It belongs to a young lad Andrew Shone who lives about 4 miles from the mill. It was his first time of using it. it took a bit of setting up as the straw is short and the heads are heavy. Its a wheel driven model so needs to travel at a fair rate to get the mechanism going, so could only take half a cut at a time.
I would like to find a McCormick or International Harvester Binder, power drive, 5ft cut.. I am reliably informed they were the top model produced...
Cheers
JW
