A Combine Harvester is one of the most important agriculture machinery used for harvesting. It cuts the crop, threshes and cleans the grain from chaff all in a single process and saves crucial time of harvesting. Because of its ability to combine all these activities of harvesting, threshing and winnowing in one process, it is known as the combine harvester. Before the innovation of a this modern harvester machine farmers used to depend on manual harvesting done by labours which sometimes used to take weeks followed by a risk of grains getting damaged by heavy rains.
It saves time, reduces crop loss and helps the farmers to handle the hectic process of harvesting in peak time or case of a labour shortage. On-time completion of harvesting allows farmers to sow the next crop without any delay. The dependency on labour for harvesting also helps the farmer reduce the stress and focus on other farming activities to manage crops.
Advantages of using a Combine Harvester
- It combines three separate harvesting activities such as reaping, threshing, and winnowing into one single process.
- Reduces the overall cost of production and helping farmers to prepare crop in a very short time.
- It reduces the stress for the farmer and let’s tackle the harvesting easily even in case of a labour shortage during the peak season.
- Reduces the dependency on the farmers.
- Reduces crop loss.
- Grain farmers can prepare the grain for markets directly from their farm.
Overall a combine harvester allows farmers to complete the longest task of harvesting in minimum time by sitting comfortably in an AC cabin. It not only ensures the safety of farmers but also saves grains from any loss.
