The machine that combines the three separate jobs of the grain harvest, reaping, threshing and winnowing, into one pass across the field. Patented by Hiram Moore in 1835 and horse-drawn for decades, the self-propelled combine finished what the reaper began: grain harvests that once took whole villages now take one operator.
