Mechanized Harvesting Implements

Animal-drawn or powered machines that cut, gather or bale a standing crop, including the combine harvester, the hay baler and the mechanical reaper. Belongs here: any harvesting machine beyond a hand tool, whether horse-drawn or self-propelled. Does not belong here: a hand-held reaping tool, grouped under Hand Harvesting Tools, or a machine that processes the crop after it leaves the field, grouped under Threshing and Post-Harvest Processing Implements.
