How does it work?

 

[Hooby Farmer]

You tip your grain up on the left hand side, then a long auger loads a hopper box (the big red upside down triangle). The croncrete wall is at angle as you can see and is only two and bit feet deep, with a perferated floor it's holds around 4 tons. There is a cavity under where a big fan blows hot air in from the bottom and drys it about 2-3%/hour. Then when it's done you open up the door at the bottom and let it all out and then repeat another 30times til there is nothing left

Won’t be many about like this, 1996 Matbro TS270

With the plastic still on the seat that it came out of the factory with! The plastic was in tact until a few years ago.

Had done some work too by the look of the tyres. A credit to the owner. Is it yours?

They are actually it’s second set of tyres, the first ones were bald when they came off! But the replacements were not new, just a good second hand set. Spent 90% of its life on concrete, couple that with a very tight turning circle, and you see why it’s eaten the tyres.

Its not mine, a customers, I’ve been using it at their property for years, I’ve clocked many of the hours on it I imagine, it’s only done 1161 when I parked it up tonight.

It’s unfortunately had one or two scrapes, not from me I might add! But is still a very very good example.

Did some second cut yesterday. Borrowed a Fella rake off a neighbor.

Finally finished harvesting yesterday. Many thanks to the various members of this forum who helped me fix the combine during the season or offered words of encouragement - @grainboy , @wasted years , @Bramble , @Exfarmer , @timff , @Mursal , @Selectamatic , @Wilberforce , @Jon , @jamesy , @bobk , @Andy26 and @Gapples ! And anyone else I have overlooked.

This classic also earned its keep - a very reasonable ebay purchase that @Lodekka did an excellent job of reconditoning for me:
