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

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!
