A thresher is a machine that only performs the task of threshing, i.e., separating the grain from the harvested crop. On the other hand, a combine harvester is a multifunctional machine that reaps, threshes, and winnows the crop, all in one go. Their use depends on the scale of farming, budget, and desired level of mechanization.

Key Differences Between Thresher and Combine Harvester:

Features Thresher Combine Harvester
Function Only threshing (grain separation) Reaping, threshing, and winnowing (all-in-one)
Operation Crop is manually or separately harvested first Cuts and processes the crop simultaneously
Efficiency Labour-intensive and slower Highly efficient and fast
Labour Requirement Requires more human effort Minimal labour needed
Cost Affordable and cost-effective Expensive and capital-intensive
Best Suited For Small to medium farms Large-scale and commercial farms
Power Source Usually tractor-operated or motorised Self-propelled or tractor-mounted
Output Only grain separation Cleaned grain and separated straw/chaff
