Burrall Corn Sheller No. 2, circa 1875
- Grain Sickle, 1800-1840 - Sickles helped farmers harvest grain crops. Using this age-old tool, however, was backbreaking work. Laborers constantly had to stoop over to gather and cut the stalks. The work also had to be done quickly before ripen grains were scattered by the wind or poor weather destroyed the crop. The invention of mechanized reapers did away with this laborious task on large acre farms.

- Sickle, 1800-1840 - Sickles helped farmers harvest grasses and grains. Using this age-old tool, however, was backbreaking work. Laborers constantly had to stoop over to cut and gather the crops. The invention of mid-nineteenth-century mechanized equipment -- reapers and mowers -- made this handheld harvesting tool nearly obsolete. Still, the sickle remained useful on smaller farms or for work around the yard or garden.
