Hume pickup reel, and the floating cutter bar. Over the next century, the company expanded, diversified and merged with other cutting‑edge agricultural firms to grow into the world’s largest producer of reels, sieves and chaffers for combines.

Today, HCC manufactures agricultural harvesting equipment such as reels, sieves, chaffers and other innovative products for every combine need. We supply sieves, chaffers, and reels to original farm equipment manufacturers for most every make and model of combine. We work closely with these manufacturers to match our products with combine specifications and capacities. HCC continues to develop and test new materials and new products designed for performance.
