Some threshing machines were equipped with a bagger, which invariably held two bags, one being filled, and the other being replaced with an empty. A worker called a sewer removed and replaced the bags, and sewed full bags shut with a needle and thread. Other threshing machines would discharge grain from a conveyor, for bagging by hand.
Threshing is a key part of agriculture that involves removing the seeds or grain from plants (for example rice or wheat) from the plant stalk. In the case of small farms, threshing is done by beating or crushing the grain by hand or foot, and requires a large amount of hard physical labour .
Andrew Meikle, A. Reddock, c.1790-1800. Andrew Meikle (5 May 1719 – 27 November 1811) [1] was a Scottish mechanical engineer credited with inventing the threshing machine, a device used to remove the outer husks from grains of wheat.
This machine did not work very well, but it demonstrated the superiority of the rotary motion and pointed to the ways in which thrashing machines should be constructed. [5] True industrialization of threshing began in 1786 with the invention of the threshing machine by Scot Andrew Meikle.

Instead of harvesting grain by hand with a sharp blade, wheeled machines cut a continuous swath. Instead of threshing the grain by beating it with sticks, threshing machines separated the seeds from the heads and stalks. The first tractors appeared in the late 19th century. [3]
1844 summary of horse power used to run farm threshing machines. Many horse-engine houses were built in Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Relative to 1-horse and 2-horse powers, they could provide larger amounts of power through larger teams. Powering threshing machines was one of their main applications. They were not portable ...
Braud was founded in 1870 in St Mars La Jaille in France; at the time Braud was manufacturing threshing machines. [1] In 1908 Braud produced the first power-driven thresher and in 1927 the first thresher made completely with metal. [2]
