I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester’s inner workings and I still don’t understand how this thing works.

    Combines ain’t that complex. But they are fussy to run. Growing up on a farm you learn to fix them at a pretty young age. I’ve even owned one myself, a well used Case I bought from an Uncle. I can close my eyes and "see’ every stinking moving part on any of the combines we owned. And I can still remember how access the parts and fix them.

    Personally, I hate balers far more.

      Yeah, I would say they are intricate (lots of sections and moving parts) but not complex (hard to comprehend). Like, I think with the right manual and some time I could learn to fix it, but I’m never going to do the same with, say, a helicopter.
