    Jeffrey ! i fell off the planet! Great to hear your voice and see you in this video. I'm still at it , back in NC for the last 20 years. Live long and prosper Jeffrey! James Quinn

    As an inventor and someone with a passion for machines, especially homemade, I'd give you many thumbs up, but I only have two thumbs!

    WOW" this man is a genius " now that you have the prototype " when will you start production? & may I be one of your 1st customers? We really need one for our homestead farm""

    This is an incredible design. Will love to get my hands on the plan. Over here in the forest areas of Ghana, rice fields are too remote and small to get combines for harvest hence such a machine will help a lot.

    Pedal power is fantastic. You can do a LOT including wash clothing, turn a conveyor belt, operate all kinds of machines.....it's fantastic

    That is so FANTASTIC!!! It's just AMAZING!! Really really good!! Hats off to you!!
    And you are SOOOOOO right, there was virtually no intermediate-scale machines. It makes so much sense. There is so very much that regular folk could be doing to provide food. And the available agri land is disappearing at a ridiculous rate.
    I salute people like YOU so highly.

    Best possible use for a recumbent exercise bike (spits). Build quality and concept seem sound, nice to see.

    Have you been able to make improvements on the design since this was made? It would be amazing to see what you've done.

    Привіт, мав я необережність посіяти 200 м² пшениці, два дні косив тому що дружина не змогла за день повязати снопи, а потім молотили 4 дні, спочатку ціпом, потім велосипедом а в кінці велосипедним колесом з приводом від електродвигуна. Навіть з двигуном важка то робота. Удачі.

  • @patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558

    Is it possible to feed straw and all through your thresher (like with a normal combine)? Or does it only work for threshing heads from the straw and then pulling the straw back out?

  • @billbraun7981

    Hi Jeffrey - we are very interested in building one for a small grain and seed growing operation in Westport, MA. Would you be willing to share the plans and a materials list in exchange for winter squash?

    Can I get some plans it would help me because it is kind of confusing

    Quite an upgrade from the Tunturi de-huller! Would be curious to know how this one is separating the wheat from the chaff without using that original method of "grinding"?

    • @russellhodin9189
      @russellhodin9189 Před 5 lety

      This is a thresher, the other machine is a de-huller. You would need both to process grain. A full-size threshing machine incorporated both processes.

    Can I get some plans ?God bless !

  • @Skidmark75

    I am also interested in the plans. It doesn't need to be a perfect machine. I just need a place to start from.

    If you sit more upright like on a Bicycle, then you could probably pedal a lot easier, almost laying down like that, makes it harder to pedal.

    Jeffery Funk this is pretty amazing dude. I am working on the idea myself and thought that I was on an island - then I found your videos and realize that I am not the first guy to try to make a pedal-powered wheat threshing machine. As you are the forerunner - have you any advise now that this project is four years old for you?

    Can you share the plans? We're in need of this here in N. Ireland ;)

    • @jassiuswise

      Same here in South Carolina. Give us an idea of what the thresher drum is made of at least.
