Massey-Harris 60 Combines: 3 models, Self-propelled, Power Take-off, Engine Driven, 1954

For centuries, manufacturers worked to perfect machinery that could combine the three major steps of harvesting grain: reaping, or cutting the crop; threshing to loosen the grain from the chaff; and disposing of the straw while retaining the grain. Massey-Harris introduced self-propelled combines in 1938 that helped relieve labor shortages during World War II. This catalog advertised Massey-Harris combines to meet postwar farmers' wide-ranging needs.
