Combine Harvester In modern agriculture, the combine harvester is a very useful agricultural tool for harvesting a variety of yields such as wheat, corn, soybeans, oats, rice, etc. The modern combine harvester, or simply combine, is a versatile machine designed to efficiently harvest a wide variety of grains from crops. In 1835, Hiram Moore built and patented the first combine harvester in the United States. According to government figures, 65 percent of the world's population still relies on agriculture. And if we talk about India, 75% of India's population is completely dependent on farming. Scientists invented Combine Harvester machines so that they could make the life of the farmer easier and as the productivity at the farm needed improvement. This machine was named Combine Harvester because it automatically performs the crop work and separates the grain crops in one step, the work of harvesting such as reaping, threshing, gathering, and winnowing, etc. It can harvest crops...

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...

Agriculture is developing and so the range and variety of agricultural reproduction. Modern farming technology increases production by helping several types of modern agricultural machinery and methods. Modern machine and methods involve the application of composite seeds, and pesticides and manure, high-level agricultural equipment such as tractors, combine harvesters, ploughs, sprayers, and planters.  Combine harvester  is one of the best  farm machines  that helps a farmer save their time and labour costs.  A Combine Harvester is an important piece of equipment for the latest farm which is designed for harvesting, threshing, separating, cleaning and collecting cereal in a single go. This enables the crop to be collected more quickly and efficiently and allows farmers to harvest more substantial amounts.  Functions: Harvesting the develpoed crop on the Field Feeding of the crop to the threshing Module Threshing of grain/seed from the rear-head Filter the ...

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...

Combine Harvester Crop Residue Management

Image
For better consistent establishing crop in the next season, the farmers must maintain the residue correctly through active chopping and spreading methods. Control of the residue is essentially involved in even order of chaff distribution and straw management at the end of the combine harvesters. Component of Crop Residue Management Crop residues like composed of straw, husk, chaff, corn cobs etc are considered as integral organic fertilizers also used in energy generation and biogas supply. Straw is the material which goes through the threshing and separating units of the Combine harvester and released from the cleaning unit of the combine machine. For uniform distribution improvement, combine harvesters are now implemented with choppers, spreaders, or a mixture of both for better residue processing. In fact, combines with header wideness of 20 to 30 feet or more may not be enough equipped to consistently scatter a large amount of residue.   Residue Chopping and Spreading The ...
