Tool - Hay Rake
After the crop of hay has been mown it is tedded, a process that spreads and fluffs the grass to speed the curing. Then the hay rake is used. It is attached to a tractor and the wheels adjusted to height and angle. The rake is then dragged over the tedded paddocks. The hay rake teeth spin mown grasses into long lines of hay called windrows. The hay is then ready to be baled.Burgundy hay rake, yellow wheels, double row of rakes. Nore modern than other rake in collection with single row of rakes.farm, machinery, hay, chaff, hay rake, horse drawn, rake, churchill island -

Tool - Eyore New Holland Baler, Sperry New Holland, 1960s
New Holland made square hay balers from the 1960’s and many are still in use today. The self propelled baler is attached to a tractor. Feeder teeth collect and push hay into a chamber. The hay is compressed and baled and then expelled automatically. The long towbar enabled the driver to supervise the gathering of the cut hay as it was baled making baling a one person operation. Sperry New Holland, a U.S company, produced agricultural equipment in Cranbourne, Victoria from 1955 to 1992.Self-propelled baler, "Eyore" Sperry New Hollandfarm, machinery, hay, chaff, baler, churchill island, eyore, new holland, sperry -

Tool - Horse-drawn mower
The horse-drawn sickle-bar mower was developed in America in the 1850’s. The grass, or other plant matter, was cut between the sharp edges of the sickle sections and the finger-plates. The knives could be held vertically for going to or from the field. This bar could also be raised or lowered to cut at different heights. The mowers were made until the end of World War II before they were replaced by tractors.Black mower, offset draw bar, metal wheelsfarm machinery, hay, chaff, mower, horse drawn, churchill island, farming -

Machine - Wool Press
These presses were used in shearing sheds around the country to create bales of wool by hand in preparation for transport to the wool markets for purchase and distribution. Bales have been used to store and were a standard trading unit for wool for centuries. A standard wool bale holds about 60 compressed wool fleeces and weighs a minimum of 120 kgs. The square shape and weight enabled them to be stacked on wagons or in warehouses, and a large pack horse could carry one on each side. With technological advances, the bales are now formed in electrical and hydraulic presses.All metal wool press, unpainted, surface rustfarm machinery, wool, wool press, hand operated, shearing -

Functional object - Hand seeder
The hand seeder was designed to enable a more efficient method of seed sowing for farmers. It was manually pushed along the furrowed ground and a feeder, which was situated in the middle of the seeder (missing from this example) would drop the seed into the prepared furrows.

Tool - Seed Drill, Mitchell, 1922
One of a number of harvesting and cultivating machines made by Mitchell and Co during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the 1922 seed drill comprises wooden seed and fertilizer boxes, a release lever and caste-iron rear seat. The seed drill was pulled by a horse and operated with a plough attachment placed at the front to cut the soil. A seated operator used the lever to release seed and fertiliser onto the ground. The seed drill enabled seed to be planted at a constant depth and spacing. White press wheels at the rear of the seed drill would lightly compact soil and cover the seed.Horse drawn seeder faded red with white wheels suitable for large seeds eg. corn, beans, peas.churchill island, farm machinery, planting, seed drill, horse drawn, mitchell brand -

Tool - Spike harrow
Spike toothed harrows were commonly used in Australia after 1870 to prepare land for sowing seed. The panel’s metal tines covered seed with a light layer of soil and they could also be used to break down clods or lumps of fertiliser and help with weed control. Frequent light tillage was useful for reducing the evaporation of moisture from the soil. The irregular shape of the pictured harrow was suitable for rough surfaces while backward sloping tines helped prevent accumulation of weeds. The chain would have connected the panel to a draw bar that was pulled by a horse. Draw bars might take one, two or more panels. By the early 1900’s this type of harrow was largely replaced with other implements.Diamond (spike) harrowswith chain, unpainted metalfarm machinery, harrowing, diamond harrows, tractor drawn -

Functional object - Single furrow mould board plough
Ploughing is a major part of soil conservation, and until 1945, it was mainly done with the aid of horses. The plough cuts into the soil with a coulter, and is followed by the share. The latter digs deeper and pushes up the soil which is then turned over by the mould board. This buries weeds, and exposes the soil to the elements whilst creating a furrow.
