I know it was very hard work in those days but I cant help feel that I could be transported back to those days where life just seemed so uncomplicated .

Excellent footage.

I hate to correct you, but it is a binder, not a combine. A combine harvester combined cutting, separating, and threshing in one machine - hence the name. A binder cuts and binds the crop - also hence the name.

I should have been born 60 years earlier.
