A steering wheel on a combine harvester machine is a critical control component used by the operator to maneuver the machine in the field during harvesting operations.
Heres a breakdown of what you need to know:
Function of the Steering Wheel in a Combine Harvester
Primary Control: Allows the operator to steer the harvester across the field.
Maneuvering Rows: Helps guide the header (the front cutting part) accurately through rows of crops.
1. AutoSteer / GPS-Guided Steering:
Many combines feature GPS steering to minimize overlap and increase harvesting efficiency.
The steering wheel remains but is often used only for minor corrections or manual overrides.
Construction and Design
Usually hydraulically-assisted for smooth and responsive turning.
Often adjustable (tilt and telescopic) for operator comfort.
