How Can a Combine Help You?
Firstly, if you're new to the farming community, you'll want to make sure a combine is a good investment for you. After all, they're not the cheapest machine you'll ever invest in, but the price tag shouldn't scare you away from getting one. Combines get their name from their function; they combine reaping, threshing, and winnowing into one machine. Combines are common in cornfields, but they can also be useful for grain crops as well.
In fact, they're so useful that they can harvest one hectare of the crop in about one-hundredth of the time it takes to do it by hand. Smaller operations can sometimes justify continuing to do it manually, but the bigger the farm gets, the more important it is to upgrade.
What to Think About
When you do decide to get a combine, you'll want to think about a few key factors. Of course, one of the biggest concerns is size. You'll want to make sure you're getting a combine that's actually big enough to handle your operations. Combines are generally broken down by class, depending on the weight and horsepower. Of course, a bigger combine can handle a bigger property, but remember that bigger machines need special storage accommodations as well.
You'll also want to think about the header, which is the front part of the combine. Different headers perform slightly differently, and some are even specifically designed for a certain crop. This is going to require a little research, but choosing the right header can make a huge difference in the efficiency of your combine and your yield. This can also be true of the processor, which moves the crop through the machine. Overall performance is key to getting the right combine the first time and a lot of what that means for you is dependant on your crop. If you're not quite sure how to narrow things down, make a list of the crops you grow and ask around your farming community to get help from some of the more experienced farmers.
