Machines | Introducing the TRIBINE A prototype concept articulated combine and 1000 bushel graincart
videos | at work | information | view | construction
The TRIBINE is a new working prototype combine with a 1000 bushel grain cart. Inventory Ben Dillon has worked on the Tribine since 1997 and this is the four version of the prototype. It will be introduced at the AgConnect Expo in Kansas City.

I'd like to see it operate in a rice field. If it has any flaws or weak points, a rice field will make them come out!

Oh i can see the maietnense bill now.. It wont suit the driver comforts either so why would you make this? Just to waste money?
-
I'd still use a grain cart but that's an awesome idea for a combine it'll last longer thrashing
-
so you've come up with better evan? doubt it.....excellent video farms.com just wish you had read through and practiced the script before recording...seemed a bit choppy at parts due to that...
-
this thing is a piece of garbage...no thankyou...
-
As far as spreading straw, this is a set up for just corn...it wouldnt spread straw properly or even bean residue
-
@jack its a gleaner combine so its way better than competition to start
-
I too would like to see tracks on the machine.
-
This is a valid concern, however I think the main benefit is being able to run one tractor + 1000 bu cart vs 2 of them to keep up with the combine. Cab cameras work wonders for being able to see while unloading.
-
I agree with this comment. How is a combine that is not continuously harvesting considered an improvement? It would be fairly impractical to unload on the go with this design, as the operator can't see into the cart with the unloading auger way at the rear. For that matter, unloading into a semi would be interesting too for the same reason.
-
I think the benefit may be in fewer wheels in the field. I.E. less compaction, less fuel, fewer machines in general.
-
The slight benefit of being able to make it around a large field without unloading seems outweighed by the notion that the combine is not harvesting when it goes to the semi to sit and unload. To get around this, you would need a 1,000 bushel cart anyway.
-
What makes it different? There's nothing revolutionary about this, what makes it any better than a john Deere or anything from CNH? Other than more grain storage (which you can't see from the cab, so you can't check the sample) what do you gain? Please tell us about any new features that make it better than anything already on the market?
-
This is pretty interesting. How does it work as far as spreading chaff/straw with that cart on the back?
-
We were also talking about the weight... We will pass on the feedback. Thanks, Joe

It needs tracks for less compaction
-
its a very interesting combine
-
very interesting. I just read about it on the successful farming website's machinery fourm. thats a cool concept.
