So I got a brand new combine harvester is a catchy tune at the bottom of this article but this week I had a guest writer write a little about harvesters. I have to say that I don’t know too much about combine harvesters myself which is why I used someone else to write about them. I have been on a forage harvester a few times but spent most of the time either in drawing grass on the tractor or on the pit with the loader.
I also came across this video which I found interesting enough which explains the basic controls of a harvester for someone who wants to get an idea how it works before heading out into a field for proper training. Its by a guy called Steven Harper and he explains it in an easy to follow and funny way.

COMBINE HARVESTERS
A harvester is a machine that is used to efficiently harvest crop diversity. It will help you cut and gather all your crops and thereby reduce human labor.
