The basic disadvantages of a combine harvester is usually the cost, followed by the size. Harvester are difficult to transport on low loader to distant farms - as the cost usually is too much for one farm to buy and kept solely for their own use. So harvesters are usually hired out. Also, due to their size, they are best used on large open fields.

How have combine harvesters changed America?

Combine Harvesters are very important on how America was changed. If you do not already know a combine harvester harvests combs (which is a very labor intensive job). The fact that there is now a machine to harvest combs makes for a lot less work. combine harvesters could harvest an entire acre of combs, producing over 3000 combs, and made every ones job a lot easier. These combs were then sold at a very heft markup and provided money for America to become the great nation it is today. So if you are ever wondering how America became so great, just remember the combine Harvester!
