In modern agriculture, Combine harvesters are an essential machine, used to efficiently harvest a variety of grain crops. They combine three major harvesting operations—reaping, threshing, and winnowing—into a single process.

Here are the main different types of combine harvesters:

Self-Propelled Combine Harvester: This is the most common type. It has its engine, allowing easy operation across fields. It is ideal for large-scale farming due to its high efficiency and power.

Track Combine Harvester: A Track combine harvester reduces soil compaction and provides stability in difficult field conditions as it is equipped with tracks instead of wheels.

Sugarcane Combine Harvester: Sugarcane Combine Harvester is a specialised agricultural machine or vehicle designed to harvest sugarcane efficiently. Sugarcane harvester cuts the stalks, removing leaves, and collecting the cane.

Tractor-Mounted Combine Harvester: Tractor-Mounted Combine Harvester are attached to and powered by a tractor, making it a good option for farmers who already own a tractor and are more affordable in comparison to other harvesters.
