Have you ever seen a combine harvester pulled by 33 horses or mules? From the 1900s through the 1930s, this was a common sight in Eastern Washington''s wheatfields during harvest season. This video, produced by Museum volunteer Arline Kerns in the early 1990s, includes footage of the combine in action.
The combine was a groundbreaking advancement at the time, the combination of a stationary thresher and push header, which reduced crew size and sped up the process. A specialized Shandoney hitch distributed the weight equally between the 33 animals and allowed them to haul the heavy piece of equipment over the hilly terrain. Visitors to Fort Walla Walla Museum will see an actual Harris Combine hitched to 33 mules on exhibit.
