John Deere


Have you forgotten the joyful day in the childhood ??
Have you ever dreamed to become a farmer ??



This is capital intensive agriculture as well as highly mechanized equipments

The machine must be reliable during the period of harvesting, or could lose a tremendous money.

Because if the storm or the hail is coming, it needed to be done before the disaster coming.

This picture made me think about horror films.



Texas Chainsaw Massacre !! Juggernaut !! Mercilessly destructive and unstoppable ~~



Let's Roll !! Time is money.

This small yellow dome is GPS receiver. StarFire iTc



One malfunction would let the whole operation halt.

Stopping would create a ripple effect.











John Deere. Let's see how to build this machine.

Primaries.
The laser beam cut the metal into the desired shape.
The stamping process and welded together.











Using the laser beam to cut the metal



Electricity is used to charge the mixture of Helium, Carbon Dioxide, and Nitrogen
and focus into the beam. It cut through the metal with speed and accuracy.

Carbon Dioxide Laser. Invented by Kumar Putel of Bell Labs.











Bullet Rotor







This device let waste material separate from the combine harvester.

The crop get through the profile of the colossus bullet.

















Weld it together

Inspect the balance of the bullet rotor.









It looks like the kitchen strainer.

The grain can come out, but the other strapped inside the cage.







Paint



Rinse the body and remove any contaminant such as: oil or dirt.



E-Coat.
Refer to "Rolls Royce" episode:E-Coating and Anti-Corrosion.







Get into the oven to bask.

Front End.

It can be changed depended on different crop.

Roll the metal into barrel shape.
Refer to "Peterbilt" Gasoline Tank fabrication.













Cutter Bar





The Cutter Bar Blade is like the helicopter Wire Cutter.
The cutter has the deflector that forces the wire into sharp high-tensile steel blades.

Look at the Apache helicopter 30mm Cannon, above the machine gun you can see the wire cutter.

Near by 30 mm Cannon. Wire cutter.

Look at the landing gear, you also can see the wire cutter. Passive Protection System.

To make the cutter bar more efficient, the technician installed the skip shield.

This Yellow slate keeps the cutter bar at perfect high.

Gathering Wheel.  

This spinning wheel rises the crop into cutter bar blade.

The "Gathering Wheel" is Left Hand which holds the crop taut.
The "Cutter Bar Blade" is Right Hand which cut the crop.
This is "Labor Intensive", but I want "Capital Intensive" as well as highly mechanized equipment. Refer to : Yale Open Course "Capitalism" . Lecture 1 and Lecture 2.

Install the spinning wheel.



Without the spinning wheel, the combine would ride over the top of the crop.

Protection





The cutter blade is broken.

Fix it up and replace the new blade.

Finish !!



Grain Tank



The soul of Combine Harvester

CD Player, Air-Conditioner

Comfortable Cab means high efficiency !!

Gasoline and Engine Indicator

Joystick !! This cab should be called the "Cockpit". High-Tech Agriculture !! 
It looks like navigating the helicopter or airplane.
