I'm probably being dumb - but this machine doesn't seem to have any controls (a "normal" seed cleaner has *so many* adjustments for airflow rates and sieve size). I can see that the peas go to the outside, and the radish seeds run down the inner spiral. So what if you had a crop of radish seeds - how would you clean it?
Hi Paul, it doesn’t have as many adjustments as a regular cleaner, but there are 4 different outlets at the bottom and a swinging flap at the bottom to allow you more selection as to where you take off the grain. Also changing the flow rate at the top changes where things come out the bottom too. I have got a good clean sample of radish and rye grass seed from the different outlets at the bottom. Thanks from Geoffrey
You aint going to get rich on youtube, I am only one to post a comment, & only 7 gave it the thumbs up. It's like stepping back in time to the 40's watching your fillums Robert.
Hi Andy, it’s not about getting rich. I am hopping to show people how we farm in Western Australia. I am showing some of the older machinery like this seed cleaner that I don’t use much, but also the equipment that we still use all the time like the chamberlain. Thanks for commenting, and I hope you are enjoying some of the aspects from the 1940’s and 50’s. Thaks
Now that is a fascinatingly simple and ingenious piece of equipment, that I, for one, never heard of. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, I am glad you enjoyed the video. I have only seen a few others like it. Thanks from Geoffrey
Thanks for taking the time and making this and your other ones as well, I find them very interesting.
Hi Hubcap, thanks very much. I am glad you are enjoying them.
