Norfolk engineer builds speedy hemp harvester

West Norfolk engineer Stephen Eyles has developed a high-capacity multi-bladed hemp harvester capable of cutting at high speeds. His machine has three blades, which cut the crop into three lengths, which makes it easier to handle for baling. Mr Eyles, who has more than 30 years' experience as a practical engineer, was encouraged by his farming brothers to tackle the challenge of designing an effective machine. http://www.edp24.co.uk/content/edp24/business/farming/story.aspx?brand=EDPOnline… added by: JackHerer
