- "Triumph" Self-Raking Reaper, circa 1876 - Self-rake reapers needed only one operator instead of two required for reapers. The "Triumph," was an improved version of Seymour & Morgan's first successful self-rake reaper from 1853. A rotating reel moved the uncut grain into the cutting mechanism and deposited the cut grain on the platform. A separate rake regularly swept the platform, depositing the cut grain on the ground.
