threshing machines
Harvest processing equipment
Threshing machines are agricultural equipment that separates grain from stalks and husks—work traditionally done by beating harvested crops with a flail.
Introduced in the late 18th century, they mechanized one of farming's most labor-intensive tasks.
The term now sounds historical; modern combines perform threshing as part of a single harvesting operation.
