Chaff Cutting
One of the harvest demonstrations you can see at our rally is chaff cutting. Oat sheaves are air dried before being processed into chaff to be fed to livestock.
In this video, our members are using a 1911 International Famous hit-and-miss 6 horsepower engine to power a pre-1920 Buncle and Son chaff cutter. The chaff cutter was made in North Melbourne Victoria and spent its working life in South Gippsland.
You may have seen a previous video on our page of our members harvesting the oats in preparation to run this display.
Come see this and many more vintage machines in action at our rally 21-22 March 2026
