Combine

The combine harvester, or simply combine, is a machine that reaps and seperates grain. It is based on the threshing machine and the reaper[?].

Early combines, some of them quite large, were drawn by mule teams and used a bull wheel to provide mechanical power. Tractor-drawn, PTO-powered combines were used for a time. Today's combines are self-propelled and use diesel engines for power.
