Overview

Combines, also known as combine harvesters, are essential agricultural machines used for efficiently harvesting crops like wheat, corn, soybeans, and more. These machines combine three critical operations - reaping, threshing, and winnowing - into a single process, significantly reducing the time and labor needed for harvesting.

FAQ

What should I look for when buying a used combine?

Check the engine hours, wear on the threshing components, overall condition, maintenance records, and any signs of rust or damage. Ensure the combine has the necessary features for your specific crop needs.

How is a combine typically shipped?

Combines are usually shipped via specialized heavy machinery transport services. They are often partially disassembled for easier transport and require proper securing to prevent any damage.

What maintenance does a combine require?

Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the engine oil, inspecting belts and chains, cleaning air filters, greasing moving parts, and ensuring the cutting and threshing components are in good condition. Consult the manufacturer’s manual for detailed maintenance schedules.
