MiniCombine Delivers Fast and Accurate Grain Sampling
The MiniCombine is a portable, fully self-contained electric unit designed to simplify grain sampling with speed and precision. Suitable for a wide range of crops including wheat, barley, sorghum, oats, soybeans, peas, field beans, and flax it provides combine-quality samples without the need to run your main harvester.
Farmers can easily test grain for moisture and quality in the shop or directly in the field, avoiding unnecessary equipment use.
This compact machine features four interchangeable concaves (tool-free), a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and a variable-speed brushless motor. Its design allows operators to collect samples identical to those from a full-sized combine, making it a reliable tool for better harvest planning and reduced waste.
Harvest More Profit
The MiniCombine offers immediate return on investment, often paying for itself within the first harvest season. By saving over $3,500 in labor, fuel, and equipment wear in just a few days of use, it helps protect farm margins.
With fewer operators and machines required for sample collection, labor costs are significantly reduced. Additionally, minimizing combine depreciation often $500 per hour keeps valuable equipment focused on harvesting instead of sample runs.
Fuel savings also add up quickly, as farmers no longer need to move combines, headers, or support vehicles between fields simply for testing. This streamlined process ultimately boosts profitability while preserving essential resources.
Harvest More Time
For farms with multiple, spread-out fields, the MiniCombine saves valuable hours. Instead of transporting a combine, truck, header, and drivers just to gather samples, this portable tool provides accurate results in 10-15 minutes, freeing time for core harvest operations.
Harvest More Safely
By reducing the need to transport heavy machinery for sampling, the MiniCombine lowers risks associated with road travel and large equipment operation, offering both efficiency and peace of mind.
