Remember that most of the early implements like that reaper/binder were originally designed to be powered by one or two horsepower

My Uncle and Great-Uncle on their farm in Co Wexford in the early 1950's, while there were still 2 horses working.
I can remember my Dad pointing out to us the strange new Diesel tractors that were coming on to the farms then. They had no radiator in the front!
