Massey-Harris was founded in Brantford, Ontario in 1891, and was the result of the merger of the Massey Manufacturing Co. and A. Harris, Son & Co. Massey-Harris became a globally important manufacturer of agricultural implements with exports to countries such as Australia where Massey-Harris captured 35% of the market by 1909. The No.2 model was first produced in 1910 and was designed for the Australian market. - Function
-
The combine harvester, known earlier as the reaper-thresher, combines in one machine all the operations associated with cereal-grain harvesting: reaping, threshing, and cleaning. First conceived in the late 19th century, combine harvesters were more widely produced in the 20th century as grain farming expanded, particularly in western North America and other regions such as Australia. Combine harvesters came in towed and self-propelled models, with self-propelled models dominating production after the 1940s. - Technical
-
The No. 2 reaper-thresher was a ground-drive combine, and could be horse or tractor drawn. It featured a slip clutch for the reel, extendable axles, a gleaning elevator, and a cleaning system for the cutter bar operated by a lever. The No. 2 could harvest up to 25 acres in a day. - Area Notes
