Obed Hussey (1792–1860) was an American inventor. His most notable invention was a reaping machine, patented in 1833, that was a rival of a similar machine, patented in 1834, produced by Cyrus McCormick. Hussey also invented a steam plow, a machine for grinding out hooks and eyes, a mill for grinding corn and cobs, a husking machine, a machine for crushing sugar cane, a machine for making artificial ice, a candle-making machine, and other devices. However, he devoted the prime of his life to perfecting his reaping machine.

However, he devoted the prime of his life to perfecting his reaping machine. Although the Hussey reaper was ultimately surpassed in the marketplace by the reaping machines of Cyrus McCormick, Hussey was the first person to make, patent, and sell such a machine in the United States. His machine was first in that it was first to be patented and had been worked in at least eight states before McCormick's machine had left the valley of Virginia. Moreover, Hussey's cutting mechanism, the combination of a reciprocating knife and slotted guard fingers, became, with some further modifications, the standard one for use in harvesting machinery.

  • Inventor e fabricante de máquinas norte-americano nascido em Hallowell, Maine. Inventou equipamentos mecânicos especialmente voltados para uso agrícola. Na juventude, marujo em um navio baleeiro, mas logo abandonou esta carreira e montou uma oficina mecânica em Cincinnati, Ohio. Ganhou fama como inventor quando criou e fabricou um ceifeiro, a primeira máquina colheitadeira primária de sucesso, funcionando a tração animal, e que atingiu grande êxito comercial depois de ser patenteada (1833), nos estados de Illinois, Maryland, New York e Pennsylvania, ampliando a produção de grãos nestes estados pela ampliação das áreas plantadas. Ele viajou para a Inglaterra (1851) para fazer uma demonstração de sua colheitadeira, em Hull e Barnardscastle, e então foi convidado a fazer uma apresentação para o Príncipe Albert, que, impressionado, comprou duas máquinas ao preço de £21 cada. Sua ceifadeira foi uma unanimidade até o surgimento comercial da colheitadeira de Cyrus Hall McCormick (1809-1884), projetada antes (1931) mas patenteada depois (1934). Também inventou um arado a vapor, uma máquina para fabricar pinos, ganchos e aros, um triturador para fabricação de farinha de milho, um moedor de cana de açúcar e uma máquina para produção de gelo etc. Pressionado pela concorrência dos produtos da fábrica de McCormick em Chicago, Illinois, vendeu seus negócios então sediados em Baltimore (1958) e morreu em Exeter, Nova Hampshire, dois anos depois.
