  • The Voracious Harvester has four wheels in two sizes. Both pairs of wheels are hollow with imitation treads.
  • The wheels rotate freely if you move the model with your hands and are connected to the winding mechanism. Thus, the model can move independently, simulating the work of a combine.
  • Due to the complexity of the original mechanism, the model consists of many parts and will require considerable skill for successful assembly.
  • Like all Metal Time construction sets, the Voracious Harvester is made from eco-friendly stainless steel used in the food industry and approved for producing consumer goods and toys.
  • The Voracious Harvester DIY model is intended for a wide range of users aged 14 and over.
  • The harvester model will decorate the house of any farmer or the desktop of the head of an agro-industrial enterprise. It symbolizes prosperity and a large-scale approach to business.
  • Other than that, the assembled Voracious Harvester might be a challenging and fun toy for middle-aged kids.
  • The presence of a winding mechanism makes this model an active participant in many games, a demonstration of the work of agricultural machinery, and racing on combines, which can surprise an adult company.
  • Assembling the model will help organize family leisure time, organize a flash mob with like-minded people, or create a friendly, creative get-together dedicated to mechanics.

Voracious Harvester DIY Mechanical Model Kit

In 1826 in Scotland, the inventor Reverend Patrick Bell designed a reaper machine, which used the scissors principle of plant cutting, which is still used today. Horses pushed the Bell machine. A few Bell machines were available in the United States. In 1835, in the United States, Hiram Moore built and patented the first combine harvester, capable of reaping, threshing, and winnowing cereal grain. “Voracious Harvester” is a DIY model of a combine harvester. A standard model of a cereal harvesting machine was taken as a prototype.

  • Blue skies, endless fields, and hundreds of workers harvesting—peace and prosperity. Such idyllic paintings are symbols of prosperity in the cultures of many countries. However, technological progress makes adjustments to established ideas.
  • Now, millions of agricultural workers have been replaced by machines. These machines are very diverse. They can sow, nurture, fertilize, irrigate, protect, and harvest almost all crops. All these machines are united by one broad term—”combines.”
  • Of these, the most impressive mechanism is the combine harvester. One such machine can replace a thousand people on the field. Knowing no fatigue, the harvester cuts through the ears separate the straw from the grain, forms sheaves, and unloads the final product. And it doesn’t stop moving.
  • There are harvesters capable of very complex operations with different types of crops. One thing unites them: these machines serve to save humanity from hunger.
  • Therefore, the Metal Time team could not help but pay tribute to these beautiful mechanisms.
  • The main parts that determine the appearance of the combine are the header and the bunker.
  • The cutting blades and rotating reel are marked on the header. The case hides the further processing process, inside which the winding spring mechanism and the gear system are located.
  • In front of the hull is a cab with schematically marked combined harvester controls—a steering wheel and a dashboard.

The central part of the body is a hopper with a swivel unloading auger tube that pivots around the near end and can be extended sideways to simulate grain unloading.
