SPOTTED WORKING recently at Skeyton, in Norfolk, at the annual Skeyton Michaelmas Trosh was this threshing and baling machine.
Hosted at Brecks Farm, Skeyton, near Coltishall, on Sunday, the monies raised at the event go to local charities. Among the attractions on the day was a ploughing match, working demonstrations and live music.
Diane Randell, from the Skeyton Trosh's organising committee, said: “It is a village get-together and friends meet here from one year to the next.
Doing the threshing (trosh is the Norfolk word for thresh) was a 1940s Ransomes machine putting through Heritage Squarehead wheat, powered by a single-cylinder Marshall tractor via a pulley belt.
But what is the baler type machine bunching the straw. Can any of our readers help (e-mail ken.fletcher@thescottishfarmer.co.uk if you know what it is).
