A grain farmer that grows different types of grain crops ontheir farm may feel worried about how to reap them at the time of harvesting.The most convenient method to harvest the grain crops is to use a combine harvester. Here we are going to understand the use of a combine harvester, a machine that can be used to perform different steps of harvesting altogether such as reaping, threshing and winnowing the grains of different varieties.
How does a combine harvester work?
The wide header attached to the front of the machine gathers the crop into the combine machine. The crop is pushed towards the cutter blade through the reel which chops the edible crop to the base. The grain is then processes in threshing drum using a conveyer belt where the grains are separated from the stalks and collected in a separate drum.
The grain is emptied into a trailer running along the combine from the drum through an attached pipe. It is quite astonishing how a single machine does so many jobs and without any human intervention.
Why use a combine harvester?
• Reduces the grain loss is the main reason why a farmer should use a combine harvester. Sometimes in the farming of corns, soybeans and wheat a farmer has to suffer great lossesbut with the introduction of mechanized threshing and separating system, a farmer can avoid these losses. That ultimately means a farmer can have moregrains from the fields and earn more.
• Grains harvestedwith machine are better in quality than manual harvesting. The combined threshing and separating system can help farmers prepare the grains for market in minimum time.
The Fieldking multi-crop combine harvester is made includingall the advanced features and it is really easy to operate it.
