Combines were developed to replace threshing machines, enabling the farmer to take the thresher to the crop instead of the crop to the thresher. The major advantage to this was a considerable savings in labour. The model 25 was manufactured in 1954 & 1955. This one probably has a 6 foot cut.
Initially, all combines were pull-type, meaning the farmer required a tractor to pull it. However, the combines supplied their own threshing power, having a small, usually 4 cylinder, gasoline engine on board.
