It was invented in the U.S. in 1834 by Hiram Moore. It was pulled by a team of horses, and the running gear was driven off of the wheels. So if it was muddy, the wheels slipped and the combine plugged up. Later they were pulled by steam engines, and were fueled by the straw that was being cut. The first readily manufactured combine was built by Massey Harris in Canada (named Clippers) around 1937.

The combine harvester, or simply combine, is a machine that harvests grain crops.

The first harvesting machines were devised by Patrick Bell in Scotland and Cyrus Hall McCormick in the United States. McCormick invented his first reaper at the age of 22 and tested it in a neighbor's field in 1831. It worked well, but was so noisy that it frightened the horses, and someone had to walk beside the team to keep them calm!

Some late 19th-century combines were powered by steam, but in 1912 the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine began to appear on some models. In the 1930s the "combine" shifted away from horse-drawn to tractor-drawn, though it was not uncommon in wheat country to still see teams of up to 40 horses pulling reaping machines.

Self-propelled grain harvesters, better known as combines, are the norm today, machines that cut the stalks and feed them through a thresher, which separates the wheat kernels from the stalks and expels the chaff out the rear of the machine. JOHN DEERe and International Harvester are among the most common brands.

History about a combine hasverter is a long history and aswers might vary.

It is used to harvest crops for their grain or seeds. Depending on the pick-up header, a combine harvester can have a header that allows it to straight-combine (which involves cutting the crop from the stems much like a windrower or swather does, only the plants are put into the machine to be threshed and separated, with the grain going into the top storage area and the rest (the chaff) being deposited back into the ground), or a pick-up header (where the swaths are cut by a swather, then the combine comes along to pick up the swaths, threshed and separated and the chaff blown out the back and the grain stored up at the top). When the storage compartment of the combine is full, then it is augered out into a truck which takes it to a storage container called a grainrie.

Scottish inventor Patrick Bell invented the reaper in 1826. The combine was invented in the United States by Hiram Moore in 1834, and early versions were pulled by horse or mule teams, ox.
