A harvester is a machine that helps farmers harvest their crops. But who invented such a machine?
As early as 350 B.C., the Greeks invented a human harvester, which was used to cut ears of wheat and grain. However, such machines are very inefficient and take a long time to get the job done.
The first authentic reaper was invented in the early 19th century by the American Cyrus McCormick. McCormick was born in 1809, the son of a grass farmer. He had a keen interest in machines and agriculture from an early age, and began to try to invent a machine that could replace human labor to harvest all crops at once.
McCormick's first harvester, built in 1831, used gears and blades to cut the crop and then separate the crop out of the cob. His harvester is very efficient and can harvest three to four acres (12,000 to 16,000 square meters) of crops in a day, much faster than harvesting by hand.
After continuous improvement and innovation, McCormick's harvester was patented in 1851 and became a major milestone in the development of American agriculture. The advent of such machines not only increased the productivity of farmers, but also changed the face of agriculture as a whole. For nearly 200 years, harvesters have played an important role in agricultural production, bringing good news to people.
In general, the invention and innovation of harvesters not only changed the way agricultural production is produced, but also greatly promoted the development and exploration of machines and technology.

An invention in the late 19th century further improved the efficiency of production. Combine.
Combining harvesting and threshing in one single piece allows farmers to harvest and thresh in a single operation.
American inventor Hyram Moore built the first combine harvester in 1838. In the late 80s of the 19th century, combine harvesters became increasingly popular in the United States, and soon similar machines were produced in Australia.
There are the following reasons why combine harvesters first appeared in the United States and Australia. First of all, both countries have a large scale of agriculture. The fields are endless, so a farmer who uses the fast harvest method has an advantage in the competition with his peers.
In addition, early combine harvesters were more suited to dry climates than wet climates. Before combine harvesters could succeed in the UK, machines had to be developed to dry the grains, because the harvested grains were not dry enough to be stored immediately. Now, combine harvesters are widely used in all developed countries.
Modern combine harvesters can harvest more than 120,000 square meters of grain in one job. Each operation through the field is a cut of a bundle of grain about 5.5 meters wide.

I don't know who invented it, I just know that the harvester is something that farmers want to use.

The harvester was first invented in England, and in 1799, the United Kingdom was the first to produce a horse-drawn disc cutter and fiber harvester. The development history of China's harvester destroyer: 1. In 1952, China began to produce animal-powered rocker harvesters and other types of animal-powered harvesters, and began to develop machine-powered horizontal header harvesters and vertical header harvesters for laying straw on the side of the machine.
3. In 1977, the header harvester was developed.

The harvester was first invented in England, and in 1799, the first horse-drawn disc cutter harvester appeared in Britain. It was produced for the development of agriculture and heavy industry at that time.

The harvester was invented by Cyrus McCormick.
In 1799, the first horse-drawn disc cutter harvester appeared in Britain; In 1822, the corn combine harvester added a plucking device above the cutter. In 1826, the prototype of the modern harvester appeared with a reciprocating cutter and a plucking wheel, which was pulled by multiple horses and driven by the rotation of the earth wheel. 1831 In 1835, a similar animal-powered wheat harvester became a commodity in the United States; In 1851, a rocker harvester appeared that could collect and stack the cut straw; After 1920, due to the widespread use of tractors, harvesters matched with tractors began to replace animal-powered harvesters.
China began producing animal-powered rocker harvesters and other types of animal-powered harvesters in 1952; In 1962, the company began to develop a mechanical horizontal header harvester and a vertical header harvester for laying straw on the side of the machine. In order to meet the needs of harvesting wheat in the northern wheat and corn intercropping areas, a vertical header harvester for laying straw was developed in 1977.
Inventions in China can be patented as long as you have a functional breakthrough.
The last sentence is that I hope you will succeed!!
