Newly Renovated Binder

Chair — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 17:54:24 +0000

Roger and repainted binder

Just in case you missed the parade here are photos of the newly renovated Binder Twine Massey Harris reaper and binder together with the binder minder, Roger Dickinson. He spent countless hours repainting it and the Queen rode on the seat along Islington in the parade. It is housed on Murray Peters farm and Murray mounted the binder on a trailer with pneumatic tyres so now the queen has a much smoother ride!

Visitations can be arranged by appointment!
