This 5HP 400kg threshing machine was shipped by sea from India to UK at a reasonable price. The makers are Basant products of Agra, India. It can have its own electric motor but I decided to drive it from my Pasquali 10.5 HP two-wheel tractor which required a new pto shaft linkage. The straw is chopped up into chaff for feed or fertiliser as is the norm in India. I do not mind this because normally we harvest wheat by picking off the ears but this year we had to harvest early with a sickle as the crop was being decimated by pigeons and crows. The grain was nicely winnowed and the machine worked well. The wheat and barley were home-grown on our farm without using chemicals and the oats were from a neighbouring farm. We milled the wheat in a small electric mill and baked a loaf the next day. No bread tastes as good as that which you grow yourself!
