The combine grain yield monitor is a device coupled with other sensors to calculate and record the crop yield or grain yield as a modern-day combine harvester operates. Yield monitors are a part of the precision agriculture products available to producers today that provide producers with the tools to reduce costs, increase yields, and increase efficiency.
IH McCormick 141 self-propelled Harvester-Thresher c. 1954–57, shown in thresher mode, with harvester dismounted. For some time, combine harvesters used the conventional design, which used a rotating cylinder at the front-end which knocked the seeds out of the heads, and then used the rest of the machine to separate the straw from the chaff ...
A New Holland TR85 combine harvester. The basic technology of agricultural machines has changed little in the last century. Though modern harvesters and planters may do a better job or be slightly tweaked from their predecessors, the combine of today still cuts, threshes, and separates grain in the same way it has always been done.
A series of tests, conducted during the 1980 corn harvesting season with several E 516 combines, equipped with Rába-made MAN D 2156 MT 6 and 8 VD 14,5/12,5-1 SVW engines, showed that reducing the 8 VD 14,5/12,5-1 SVW's engine speed by 200 min −1 would result in a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 15 %.

The Fortschritt E 510 was a self-propelled combine harvester, developed in the early 1960s by the East-German Fortschritt combine. It was a heavy modification of its predecessor, the Fortschritt E 170 series. Several E 510 combines were made for testing purposes; however, the tests which were conducted in the 1963 harvesting season showed that ...
A Fortschritt E 512 in 1978 A late 1980s E 512 – its paint was olive-green, because it was cheaper to produce than blue paint. In the early 1950s, the GDR combine harvester production had shifted from stationary threshing mashines and pulled harvesters to the self-propelled combine harvesters of the E 170 series, a modified version of the S-4 Stalinets combine harvester.
Case IH 7140 rotary harvester with corn header with cutaway showing rotary threshing mechanism. Case IH axial-flow combines (also known as rotary harvesters) are a type of combine harvester that has been manufactured by International Harvester, and later Case International, Case Corporation, and CNH Global, used by farmers to harvest a wide range of grains around the world.
A corn harvester is a machine used on farms to harvest corn, stripping the stalks about one foot from the ground shooting the stalks through the header to the ground. The corn is stripped from its stalk and then moves through the header to the intake conveyor belt .
