thread_title:  Date of invention? 

message: I've got a reference which indicates that the first self propelled combine was a Gleaner,
developed starting 1923. The article is from AGCO (Gleaner) and seems to be a bit coy about
what it's saying so I'm reluctant to modify the main article.
http://www.masseyferguson.com.au/agco/Gleaner/GleanerEAPAC/AboutGleaner/Heritage.htm
The main article states it was invented by Class in 1953.  Does anyone out there know of a reference that would show a self-propelled Gleaner combine before 1953?  This would invalidate the Class claim.--71.38.174.228 (talk) 02:04, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Correct Category?

message: When rotaries were first introduced, larger engines were considered the tradeoff for a better technology. It wasn't long before someone put two and two together, and realized that the same power applied to a conventional machine would produce similar performance.  It seemed to make more sense to revert back to conventional machines with better straw-handling capabilities after that.
Perhaps that's why some manufacturers chose to stick to conventional designs, increasing their capacities, while the rotary combine fad was going on.

message: Sperry-New Holland introduced rotary combines in 1975.  The IH axial flow in 1977 was a copycat. Sperry-New Holland was the innovator of this technology. I've added a reference,
but I've seen other references claim the IH was first.  Having been around for awhile, and with a farming background I know personally that Sperry New-Holland was first. --71.38.174.228 (talk) 00:33, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

message: An anon editor added 'quick-tach' to the Headers section:
:Combines are equipped with quick-tach removable heads 
Some very quick web research suggests that it was originally a Bobcat proprietary system, and therefore should be capitalised (see here).
However, I would suggest that this is a modern development, and should be noted lower down the page.

message: FIRST I think the Combine from the movie twister should be removed, because it just picks the thing up and drops it, it's like if a semi truck is lifted up in a tornado, you wouldn't have the movie Twister referenced in the article. SECOND consider adding Half-Life 2 because the empire that enslaves mankind is called the combine THIRD In an Itchy And Scratchy episode one of them is rnu over by a combine and Krusty says something about them having fun until getting run over by the thresher

the hl2 really has no real reference. it is a similarity in the name but not in the actual meaning, combine as in enslaving and combine as in harvesting have no relevance to eachother  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.58.221.6 (talk) 04:05, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Combine in popular culture 

message: The beginning part of this article states that a combine performs 3 processes which were previously performed separately, but it doesn't state what these three processes are.  This seems like a pretty critical fact and should be stated in the openning paragraph. Jlenthe (talk) 16:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

message: How effective would a combine be should the world be introduced to a zombie infestation? Would this vehicle be handy in mowing down a horde of zombies? Or is the perceived possibility of heavy and rapid damage infliction merely a device for Hollywood scenes?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.8.89.2 (talk) 08:38, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

message: In Germany, they now have added threshing, Mixing with water, kneading the dough and leaving it to rise, and baking to harvest breadrolls direct from wheat.  I couldn't find any online sources, but have seen this process in operation in Bavaria.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.226.138.94 (talk) 19:34, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

message: See http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/onairhighlights/doubt-on-harvester-history
It's also unclear how stories like that refer to the Australians inventing the first combine harvester (not just the first commercial combine harvester) if an American invented it decades earlier.

Here is an image showing the article in both display and source edit mode. I thought it might be my cache, but that doesn't appear to be the case. --Jasca Ducato (talk) 16:05, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

message: This article says it was invented by Lyle Yost, yet the article Screw_conveyor#In_agriculture says it was Peter Pakosh. 2001:56A:F414:D300:7D01:6086:CA91:97DD (talk) 03:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: They both claim to have made them in 1947. It appears Yost developed the unloading auger specifically for combines. Pakosh appears to have invented the screw auger, a separate piece of equipment.  I can't find pictures of either original model - they may both be very similar and near simultaneous inventions.
