Revolutionary inventor and self taught engineer. Inventor of the header harvester and the first auto header to be commercially produced. These advances in grain harvesting technology put Australia on the map as a successful grain producing country.
Headlie Taylor joined HV McKay’s Sunshine Harvester Works in 1916 and retired in 1954 after a successful career in agricultural machinery design.
Major modifications and inventions included grain harvesting machinery for the new rice industry, pasture renovators, power take off drives for headers and binders, cutter bars and pick up fronts, mechanisation of the flax industry and sand elevators for bagging, as part of the war effort and the re-design of the auto header in 1953.
