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.

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.

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.
