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. This pull-type combine was manufactured from 1938 to 1958. After the Great Depression, farmers tended to prefer smaller and more affordable combines, which inspired the Clipper’s design. The Clipper’s competition at the time was the Allis-Chalmers All-Crop 60, the Gleaner ‘Six’ and the Deere No. 6. The Clipper was one of the most popular pull-type combines that Massey-Harris produced.

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

This type of combine was developed during the 1930s to introduce combine harvesters to farmers with smaller farms. The Clipper was a pull-type combine, which was powered through a Power Take-Off (or PTO) that connected the combine to the tractor's engine. The pull-type Clipper was followed by a self-propelled Clipper, introduced in 1946, which was somewhat bigger. This Clipper was equipped with a 60 inch threshing cylinder and could cut a swath 6-feet wide. Its grain bin could hold 25 bushels.
