Efficient Use of the Farm Combine During Harvest
A combine is a short form of the combine harvester. The farm combine is the king of harvesters. It combines three important processes: threshing, winnowing, and reaping. The swath of the modern combines is more than 40 feet and has grain tanks as big as 485 bushels with unloading speeds of 6 bushels per second. Farmers have many things to consider at the start of the harvest, such as fine-tuning the settings, preventing grain losses, and checking the field conditions. Harvesting Operation for Crops In the harvester, friction between the concave, the incoming crop, and the rotating cylinders result in threshing. We can adjust the clearance between the concave and the cylinder. You can harvest a variety of crops using a farm combine including sorghum, lentils, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, canola, pinto beans, rice soybeans, flax, chickpeas, corn, and wheat. Each crop needs a specific setting and so, the farmer must adjust the setting before harvesting. Factors Affecting the Performan
