Nice sounding major.😊

Lovely old combine and great to see it working. Looks like it has a trusser ( or buncher ) built in to back of it.

Brings back memories. My late father had a Claas Junior Automatic driven by a Fordson Super Major back in the day. Like this one in the video, his Major could have done with a live PTO to maintain constant speed threshing.

My Grandfather had that exact combination. Then my father bought a tanker version of a Super, without the buncher pulled behind a Nuffield. Both worked in tandem. But it wasn’t long before the bagger version got a tank put on it and the buncher was removed.
Then they both got replaced with an SF, that was the bees knees in comparison!

Being of upland sheep farming stock ,we did'nt have these round about us, I had only ever seen them out of use and sheeted up on lowland farms,and nobody would answer all the questions ,I qs an 11year old fired at the men ,there abouts.I did once climb and start pulling off the tarpullin but got severley told off by the fatm foreman. So delightedvto see this video and read thw comments 61 years later! Thank you.

Tractor yang bagus, semangat kawan 👍

We borrowed something similar from the smith here in the seventies, all I remember is that the name Claas stood in big red letters, I don t remembering it being that tall, think he wanted it slaughtered after we had used it, don t remember what kind of problem it had, or if it managed to harvest all 15 ha s.
