Clover hullers resemble threshing machines verymuch, but dillcr in being provided with an additionalhulling cylinder. In passing the threshing cylinder theheads are removed from the stems and the seed from theheads to some extent. The heads are separated from the 220 FARM MACHINERY Stems and chaff and passed to the hulling cylinder, whichremoves the seed from the pods. The construction ofhulling cylinders varies from a cylinder with fluted teethand a wooden cylinder with steel brads for teeth to acylinder covered with hardened steel rasp plates. It isnecessary in all cases to have a large amount of surface. FIG. l66—SECTION OF A CLOVER HULLER for the clover to come in contact wath. Clover hullersare rated according to the size of the hulling cylinder,which may vary from 28 to 42 inches. The largemachines are driven by steam power, while horse powermay be used for the smaller. They may be providedwith wind stackers, self-feeders, and baggers similar tothreshing machines. They have a capacity up to 10 to 15bushels of cleaned seed an hour.
