Combines around the World - Two centuries of history, engineering and passion

The combine was the machine that, more than any other, revolutionized global agriculture, especially in the second half of the twentieth century, making it possible to harvest all manner of cereal and legume crops quickly and effectively.

The book analyses the journey the production and use of these machines took through the history of the different continents and nations, presenting a detailed account of practically all the manufacturers who played a part in this sector. Its pages are host to a parade of over one hundred different brands, from household names to those that have long been forgotten, all with their own history and the models they have rolled out over the years.

This detailed and passionate account is followed by a thorough illustration of the combine's technical development, analysing each step in the evolution of the machine's individual component parts.
Lastly, a rich appendix gives the main technical specifications of the models produced by the world's leading manufacturers, presented clearly and as comprehensively as possible. The book is splendidly illustrated with over eight-hundred images.

Combine Harvesters : Theory, Modeling, and Design

A culmination of the author's more than 20 years of research efforts, academic papers, and lecture notes, this book outlines the key concepts of combine harvester process theory and provides you with a complete and thorough understanding of combine harvester processes.

Utilizing a wealth of experimental data to promote validated mathematical models, this book presents the latest stochastic and deterministic modeling methods, evolutionary computational techniques, and practical applications. Highly focused on engineering and mathematics, it incorporates the use of simulation software (including MATLAB (R)) throughout the text and introduces a unified approach that can be used for any combine harvester functional structure.

The book addresses modeling, simulation, evolutionary optimization, and combine process design. Breadth of coverage includes general technical specifications, developing machine layout as defined by engineering calculations, and design considerations for major subassembly processes.

Comprised of 15 chapters, this text:
- Provides examples of current combine systems/elements design throughout the book
- Incorporates applications/exercises inspired by the author's engineering and research experience
- Uses both SI (metric) and imperial/U.S. measuring units throughout

This book contains principles, calculations, and examples that can aid you in combine process modeling and simulation, the development of combine process and driving task-based control systems by considering a top-to-bottom design of combine assembly and components.

The Combine Harvester

Tells the complete story of the combine harvester. Starting with the early straw walkers and rotary models, author Jonathan Whitlam charts the chronological evolution of these complex machines which soon became indispensable to the cereal farmer. The author shows how the combine developed into the huge modern machine, capable of processing hundreds of acres of wheat in a day.

The story of the combine harvester is meshed with the cereal harvest, starting with the first mechanisation of the harvest with the sail reaper, moving through to the binder and then the threshing drum.
The book describes the early arrival of the combine harvester in the shape of the reaper-thresher in the USA and then smaller, more compact trailed versions that were also used in Europe. The self-propelled combine arrived in the 1940s, which is when the idea really began to take off.

The book looks at the various different makes of combine harvester such as those produced by Case, New Holland, International Harvester, John Deere and Massey Ferguson and discusses what the future holds for the combine harvester, including advanced designs and driverless drones.
Accompanied by a wide variety of new colour photographs, this book will appeal to farm machinery enthusiasts and those interested in the development of modern industrial machinery.

Histoire des batteuses de nos campagnes

Thresher, beater, battery: depending on the region, it changed its name and its servants were called "the beaters". The images disappear, but the memories remain. Let's hurry, because the storytellers of memories will also disappear in turn, and there will only be a few yellowed photos and a few machines and documents left in some collectors or museums, or even in some enthusiasts!

This book offers you an overview of the history of the different types of threshers in France, from the first threshing machines of the 18th century to the Trente Glorieuses.

Moissonneuses batteuses françaises 1905-1985

The transition from traditional harvesting to combine harvesting took place in France in two decades, while it had taken four times as long in North America. Thus, a hundred years passed between Hiram Moore's first tests and the launch of the first Guillotin.

This is a very strange observation that illustrates the gap. Could French manufacturers, admittedly hampered by two long conflicts, have taken better advantage of the experience acquired across the Atlantic? Nothing is less certain because neither the structure of the farms, nor the nature of the harvests, nor the general organization of the collection and storage chain were comparable on both sides of the ocean.
A combine harvester suitable for French needs was therefore redesigned in design offices, sometimes headed by men of genius, but which until then followed unsuitable manufacturing methods.

Thanks to this exceptional work of 192 pages illustrated with nearly 400 photos, drawings and functional sections, find the different combine harvesters produced in France.
Numerous technical sheets allow you to identify the different models, date them, understand how they work and recognize their specific features.

A la découverte des moissonneuses batteuses 1920-1990 (Tome 1)

Cereals have always been a staple of human nutrition. Man has sought to harvest these cereals as efficiently as possible, throughout the world: by hand, with a sickle or with a scythe. The equipment used for harvesting was then pushed or pulled by animals and the first modern harvesters date from 1831. They were designed by Mc Cormick.

In 1870, the first harvester-binders appeared, initially with wire binding, then with twine in the 10 years following this innovation and until 1960. At that time, on small farms, green mowers with cereal equipment and crop cultivators were used until the early 1950s.

While the first combine harvesters (with cuts of 6 m and more, driven by steam or oil engines, pulled by animals (30 to 40 horses or mules!) were operating before 1900, in the 1980s to 2000s, we saw the advent of machines with cuts of 3.60 m to 7.20 m and with powers of up to 300 horsepower.
And in this field, it seems that nothing can stop progress. Today, 700 horsepower machines are built that can harvest over 13.80 meters!

Bernard Gibert, thanks to his rare and precious period documents, continues his ambition to retrace the entire history of the mechanization of modern agriculture. So discover with us aboard these legendary combine harvesters!

A la découverte des moissonneuses-batteuses 1920-1990 (tome 3)

For this final volume of the series on "combine harvesters from 1920 to 1990", you will discover brands and models known because they were used in France. But you will also discover other brands and other models, never marketed in our country but whose advertising documents had nevertheless been published in our language without meeting with success among farmers.
These are 50 new brands that will complete the collection of the first two volumes.

Today, it is no longer possible to produce works presenting so many models because only a few brands share the world market, the best known of which are: John Deere with all sorts of models, Case with its Axial Flow, New Holland with its CR, Massey-Ferguson with its Ideal, its brand new machine.
