How To Properly Use The Combine Harvesters?

Combine harvester a compact agriculture machine that helps producer reaping, threshing, and winnowing of the crop. If you buy a combine harvester then definitely you will be eager to know how to use them.


How To Properly Use The Combine Harvesters?

But before you start using this machine on the field you must know how to operate them so that maximum performance is achieved.


Combine machine delivers every function collecting to thrashing and cleaning the grains. This all can be done outwardly any human interference and the time needed is dramatically less related to if done manually. Here are some points that help you increase the life of the combine machine. 


Starting the Harvester


Before you continue with harvesting the machine should be ignited and the speed should be locked so that the blade of the harvester machine does not get caught with the straw.


Choosing the Time


Time plays an important factor in harvesting. It is decent to harvest the crops after 9.00 am. The purpose for this is that there is less dew and the products are dry to be collected. It is also not acknowledged to harvest during or after a rain as this may start to blocking the harvester and strengthening the crop loss.


Adjustment of Header


The header of the combine harvester should be properly set. If the heat is large then it is seen that collecting the small straws are hard and it may also affect the next sowing. It is recommended that in such a situation the header should be reduced but not more than 6 cm unless the soil will be cut and split the knife.


Proper Handling of the Machine


It should be assured that the combine machine is moving in a straight style while harvesting. Otherwise, it may lead to not collecting all the crops and dropping them in the field. Another thing to be heeded while running a harvester is that when it had to turn the harvesting should be closed otherwise the grains may fall off from the truck.


Throttle Valve


The throttle valve should be kept at average or in an open space while you are harvesting. If this is done while the combine harvester is leaving the harvesting field it will ensure that the crops are all out.


Cleaning of Combine Harvester


The combine harvesters should be correctly cleaned of soil or any weeds that are left back after harvesting. If this is not done well then it may lead to blocking of the harvester during the next harvest.


Hope these points will help you complete your harvesting work on time.

A combine harvester is the most advance and modern way of collecting rice, sorghum, sunflower or large grains such as corn, soybeans and pulse crops from the field.  As the name suggests "combine" it is a multipurpose machine and complete the job reaping, threshing, and winnowing in a single pass.  If we look into the history of combine machine then it was made by Hiram Moore in 1836 also and re-built and listed the first kind of combine harvester in the United States. This version of the combine machine was pushed through the field with the help of farm horses. In this version of combine machine uses 20 horses to harvest 50 acres of crops.  In 1882, Australian Hugh Victor McKay designed a similar idea and created the first industrial combine harvester called the Sunshine Harvester. But the best variant of combine harvester First self-propelled combine harvester union of the vapour engine was acquired by the George Stockton Berry. And since the Combine harvesters are usin...

Best Practices in Agriculture To Improve Production

Image
Agriculture developed in innovative and inspirational methods in the previous decades. With a new strategy to increase farmer productivity, collaborative forces have changed the course of farming in present. Reducing human efforts to get the most unusual yield is what defines smart farming. New  agricultural machinery   became possible with the intelligent use of technology and economic innovative ideas put mutually. Over time, new changes in technology and knowledge led to saving both time and money in farming.   Here is the list of top practices that made farming possible in incredible ways-   Improved Irrigation In present dependence of natural rain of a farmer is almost zero.  Things like artificial rains, new and improved tales of watering have made their impression. If we talk about the examples like Drip Irrigation, Center Pivot, Sprinkler water system, Subsurface textile irrigation, and watering by the lateral move creating farm lakes are additional new ...

Types of Plough and Their Uses

Primary tillage implement plough is one of the modern farm equipment used to alter the layer of soil and bring nutrition on the top. Plough  has a wide variety of use in farming. These instruments are used for the improvement of the soil just before seeds and plants are established. Ploughing uses to loosen and turn the soil, which ultimately produces in increased crop yield and plough, farm machine is typically drawn by a tractor. Types of Plough and their uses -  Types of plough applied to break and loosen soil and get the bottom around 6 to 36 inches. Here are some main kinds of plough used in farming as listed below.  Moldboard (MB) Plough Disc plough Rotary Plough Chisel Plough  Subsoil Ploughs Mold Board Plough (MB Plough) - If we talk about moldboard plough, It used to break various types of soils and perfect for turning and covering the crop residuals. If we take a close look at the structure of this farm equipment then we find a variety of MB plough for per...
