What is the difference?
- 1Function: A reaper is primarily used for cutting and gathering crops, while a combine is used for cutting, threshing, and cleaning grain crops.
- 2Size: A combine is typically larger and more complex than a reaper.
- 3Method: A reaper can be operated by a person or a machine, while a combine is always a machine.
- 4Efficiency: A combine is generally more efficient than a reaper in terms of speed and output.
- 5Cost: A combine is usually more expensive than a reaper due to its size and complexity.
Remember this!
Reaper and combine are both agricultural machines used for harvesting crops. However, the difference between them lies in their function, size, method, efficiency, and cost. A reaper is primarily used for cutting and gathering crops, while a combine is used for cutting, threshing, and cleaning grain crops. A combine is typically larger and more complex than a reaper, and it is always a machine, while a reaper can be operated by a person or a machine.
