1. Reaping: The harvester uses a cutting mechanism, often a rotating blade or a draper header, to cut the mature crop.
2. Threshing: After cutting, the machine separates the grain from the rest of the plant (straw). This is typically done through a
threshing drum or rotor that separates the grain from the crop.
3. Separation: Once the threshing is complete, the separated grain is further cleaned and separated from any remaining straw,
chaff, or debris. This process ensures that only the clean grain is collected.
4. Cleaning: The harvested grain is then cleaned to remove any remaining impurities or foreign material. This is usually done
using sieves, blowers, and other cleaning mechanisms.
5. Collection: The cleaned grain is then collected in a grain tank on the harvester. This tank has a significant capacity to
allow for continuous harvesting without frequent unloading.
6. Unloading: When the grain tank is full, the harvester can unload the harvested grain into a waiting transport vehicle, such as
a tractor-trailer or a grain cart.
