A rice combine harvester is a machine that can harvest both rice and wheat crops by cutting, threshing, and cleaning them 1. However, some farmers may prefer to cut and bind wheat crops separately, and use a stationary thresher machine later 2. In that case, a rice combine harvester can be modified to suit wheat harvest by removing the threshing and cleaning device, and replacing it with a binding mechanism 3. Additionally, the feeding and guidance system can be modified to vertically transfer the harvested wheat to the binding device 3.

This modification can improve the utilization of the rice combine harvester, and reduce the grain losses and operating costs of wheat harvest 3. However, some factors such as the forward speed, the bundle weight, and the bundle fall height may affect the performance and efficiency of the modified machine 3. Therefore, it is important to optimize these factors according to the field conditions and the farmer’s preferences 3.
