1941-1974

Canada

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. The No. 21 was Massey-Harris's second self-propelled combine and was produced during the Second World War when agricultural implement factories were converted to war production. Massey-Harris was able to produce the No. 21 by proposing that 500 of the machines be produced to form a "Harvesting Brigade" that would harvest crops throughout North America. The Brigade began harvesting in the southern United States and moved northward, following the ripening of crops. The Brigade harvested more than a million acres, supporting the war effort with cereal production. The Brigade also gave Massey-Harris wider exposure in the United-States: by 1947 the company controlled 54% of the American combine market.

Fonction

The combine harvester, also known earlier as the reaper-thresher, combines in one machine all the operations associated with cereal-grain harvesting: reaping, gathering, threshing, sorting and winnowing. First conceived in the late 19th century, combine harvesters became popular the 20th century as grain farming expanded, particularly in western North America. Combine harvesters came in towed and self-propelled models, with self-propelled models dominating production after the 1940s.

Technique

The No. 21 was first manufactured in 1941 and was the first rubber-tired self-propelled combine harvester. The No. 21 was designed by Australian engineer Tom Carroll, who wanted to create a smaller and more affordable combine than its predecessor, the No. 20. The No. 21 became Massey-Harris's most popular combine with 10,000 produced in 1949 alone. Carroll received a Gold Medal from the American Society of Agricultural Engineers in 1958, recognizing his work at Massey-Harris and for his contribution to the technological development of combine-harvesters.
