I work on a lot of combines...mostly JD...but some 'Silver-Seeder' and Binders(red-rotor-red-rotor...ain't got a motor)
As a farm mechanic I can tell you that all operators are not created equal. Some have read the operating manual and comprehended the supplied destructions. These guys service and actually operate the machine as intended!....will see these combine operators at times on hands and knees behind a stopped combine...digging around and gauging just how efficiently its all working. This person most likely also has a complete operator's manual...a grease-gun..and a fire extinguisher in/on the combine
The next combine driver you see is just that...a driver. He may grease and fuel the combine....but he's hoping/assuming everything is set and 'ready to go'...he's getting crop out of the field for sure.
Most combines of any make or model will do a good job if it's decently maintained and properly operating. Some grain loss is inevitable as no combine is 100% efficient.
Every field is different too....the machine may work superb in one particular field....but not so hot across the road or in a different variety of same crop...cutting any crop efficiently that's all weeds or flat on the ground or whatever can be a fiasco!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
