All Systems Go!

Despite the weather it is all systems go for the event.

German manufacture Claas will be celebrating their 100 years of manufacturing with De Courcey Classic & Vintage Club this August Bank Holiday Monday at their annual Harvest Working Day.

This event will cover all methods of harvesting going back over 100 years from cutting with the scythe, horse mowing machines, reapers and binders and the full range of Claas models from the beginning to the present day. It will also feature hand stone grinding wheels as well as various threshing methods.

Also on the day a auction of various artifacts and a book signed by Helmut Claas.

All machines on a 35 acre site, all working on the day.

Claas Day Planned

This year’s De Courcey Vintage Club Harvest Working Day at Barrels Cross in Co Cork on 5 August is to be the focal point of Class’ centenary celebrations in Ireland.
The event, which will supported by Claas, will celebrate the German manufacturer’s 100th anniversary with a large display of vintage, classic and modern Claas equipment, including combines, both trailed and self-propelled, balers and other harvesting equipment.
A copy of Class’ new centenary book, 100 years of harvesting excellence, signed by no less than Helmut Claas, will be auctioned for charity.
