Its operation basically comes down to a beat and shake separate system. It separates the seed from the straw/hay. Works much like a more common threshing machine (or modern combine) used for say wheat.
The difference is that a huller has a second cylinder in it to break the seed clumps(called horns in alfalfa) open.

SO to try and explain this interesting device.

The material is fed in front (30 sec in). And pushed into a first cylinder (top of heavy belt at 2min ish) that beats a majority of the horns off, the rest are shaken out on the walkers that run the length of the machine. All the material that falls through get ran through a rasp cylinder (power belt connected 40 sec) that scours the hulls of the horns open an releases the seed.

The scoured material then crosses another set of shakers (side door 2:30) and past a blower to work more of the straw and dirt off. at which "seed" crosses under in a auger, up the elevator, to the small cleaner on the side (1-1 1/2 min mark), this one has a even finer screening that removes most of the last of the forgein material.

The straw is dumped off end of walkers and blown up into barn (end). The handles before the side change is to adjust the blower pipe.

I'm sure I missed a lot of details, but think I got most important anyway. Got more pictures of it as well if need more detail of something.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga ...
