Description
The Combine Harvester by Jonathan Whitlam tells the story of one of the most significant agricultural inventions of all time. From its early beginnings with straw walkers and rotary models, to the modern machines capable of processing hundreds of acres of wheat in a day, this book chronicles the evolution of the combine harvester. The author explores how the combine developed from earlier harvesting machinery, such as the sail reaper, binder, and threshing drum. The story also covers the introduction of self-propelled combines in the 1940s and the various makes of combine harvesters produced by companies like Case, New Holland, International Harvester, John Deere, and Massey Ferguson. With its unique blend of history and technology, this book will appeal to those interested in farm machinery and the development of modern industrial machinery. Accompanied by a wide variety of new colour photographs, it provides a detailed look at the combine harvester's development and its future prospects.
