Understanding Combine Harvesters

This document provides information about combines and their functions. It describes the key components of a combine, including the header, reel, cutter bar, threshing drum, sieves, grain tank, and straw walkers. It explains that a combine harvests grains by cutting crops with the header, threshing grains from stalks using the drum, separating grains using sieves, collecting grains in the tank, and dispersing straw and chaff out the back.

WHAT IS COMBINE
• A combine is a large, self-propelled agricultural
machine used to harvest grain crops such as
wheat, corn, soybeans, milo, rape-seed, and
rice. As its name suggests, the combine
performs two, and sometimes more, basic
functions of harvesting: first it reaps (cuts) the
crop, and then it threshes it, separating the
kernels of grain from the seed coverings and
other debris (chaff). Some combines may also
bale the straw that remains after threshing; the
machines can also be equipped to pick cotton
• Cereal crops are gathered in by the header at the
front, which has a pair of sharp pincers called crop
dividers at either end. Generally speaking, the wider
the header, the faster and more efficiently a harvester
can cut a field. Different headers are used for cutting
different crops; the header is often hydraulically
powered and can be raised, lowered, and angled in
different ways from the cab. The header can be
removed and towed behind the harvester lengthwise
so it can fit down narrow lanes.
• A slowly rotating wheel called the reel (or pickup reel)
pushes the crops down toward the cutter. The reel has
horizontal bars called bats and vertical teeth or tines to
grip the plant stalks.
• The cutter bar runs the entire length of the header
underneath the reel. Its teeth (sometimes called
mowing fingers) open and close repeatedly to cut off
the crops at their base, a bit like a giant electric hedge
cutter sweeping along at ground level.
• Behind the cutter bar, the cut crops are fed
toward the center by spinning augurs (screws)
and travel up a conveyor to the processing
mechanism inside the main part of the
combine
• A threshing drum beats the cut crops to break
and shake the grains away from their stalks.
• The grains fall through sieves into a collecting
tank below.
• The chaff (unwanted material) passes along
conveyors called straw walkers toward the
back of the machine. More grain falls through
into the tank
• When the grain tank is full, a tractor with
a trailer on the back pulls alongside the
combine. The grain is carried up from
the tank by an elevator and shoots out
of a side pipe (sometimes called the
unloader) into the trailer.
• The unwanted straw chaff tumbles from
the back of the machine. Some combines
have a rotating spreader mechanism that
throws the straw over a wide area.
Sometimes the straw is baled up by a
baling machine and used for animal
bedding.
