Mad About Vintage Harvesting

DVD PAL

Harvesting with the men and machines at
Little Casterton.

People Mad about Vintage Harvesting
don’t just collect the machines, they
put them to work at events like the
Casterton Working Weekend. The most
interesting examples of vintage
combines, threshing drums, binders,
balers, pole elevators and other
harvesting equipment, ranging from the
days of a simple reaper to modern
machines from the 1950s, were filmed
over three years of the event, with
comments from the enthusiasts who
lovingly own, renovate and maintain
them in working condition.

This DVD includes rare machines from
Holt, Claas, International, Case and
Massey-Harris, plus a range of John
Deere equipment including a 1929 12A
combine, the company’s first self-
propelled combine, the 1946 Model No
55, and a contemporary 116W wire baler.
A fine selection of equipment for
anyone interested in harvesting and its
history.

Written & narrated by Alan Stennett.
