Combine

An implement that first cuts off grain stalks, and then strips the grain from the stalk. The combine replaced the grain binder and the threshing machine combination. Early combines were the leviathans of the horse-powered world. Near the beginning of the twentieth century they were so large that up to forty horses were required to pull them, and the driver sat nearly twenty feet in the air.
