I've been looking at early pull-behind combines where crop had to be bagged on the combine. My questiuon is, what is done with filled bagswhen they are full? Were they thrown on the field? Most pictures I've seen, there isn't a lot of room on the combine to store sacks. Was a Wagon pulld behind? thanks for any replies.

I have an IH Model 42 combine. It has a chute from the bagging platform for sliding the bag down onto the ground.

Dug, I just looked in my Case 800 combine op manual & it shows a bagging platform where the grain tank would be, there is a chute next to the tailings elevator to slide the bags down to the bottom, there is a rope at the top to pull & release the bags to drop to the ground. It says 4 bags can be put on the chute at one time. So pull types weren't the only ones to have a bagger setup I guess. My MM corn sheller could be purchased with a bagging spout too, I would not want to be the one trying to keep up with that at 1200 bushels per hour, no way!!!..... .Roger

The book "This was Wheat Farming" by Kirby Brumfeld published by Superior Publishing shows photos of stacks of bagged wheat left in the field to be picked by wagons. This work deals
mainly with wheat growing in Washinton State's Palouse country south of Spokane.

We used pull type combines (called headers) here in Australia up to the 1960s.

The early ones were driven from the wheels. They had a small box for grain. We had to stop often to unload into bags which were left in groups for loading onto trucks. The later pull combines were PTO driven.

Some had bagging platforms so bags could be filled while working. The bags were then dropped off in groups for loading.

By the 1960s the pull combines had much larger grain bins and were unloaded using an auger either into a stationary bulk bin or a 'chaser bin'

Say Bob, I'm coming to Australia, probably in April. I will be mainly around the Melburne and Ballarat area, but I plan on getting up to Alice Springs also. Is there anything you could suggest we visit in that general vicinity. I am nervous about driving on the wrong side of the road(chuckle) but I am going to rent a car and put some miles on. Where are the farming areas in Australia?

dad used a ten foot Case combine with a bagging setup.it had a long slide that would hold 4 bags,or5 if you double decked the last bag. as a kid it was my job to put the empty bag on while an adult sewed the full one. if we were not really rushed we could watch for bull nettle seed to come in the bag that we would eat...

Never heard of "bull nettle seed". Where do bull nettles grow? How large are the seeds?

Bull nettles are a stinging nettle with thorns on the leaves, stems, and seed pods. There weren't that many of them, but when we saw the header cut one we knew the Case combine would soon put the seeds in the bag, usually without the offending thorns. The seeds are about the size of a long, skinny Spanish peanut. They grow in gravelly soils along streams in the Texas Hill Country.
