Introduction: K'nex John Deere "X" Series Combine Harvester

By
About: I love K'nex, build the occasional wooden things, and also am an amateur engineer. Currently, I am learning more about Stormworks, and I might end up posting tutorials about The ships I build!

This combine of mine is a crazy feat of in-depth detail and engineering. A trip inside this combine would reveal just how much work went into it (just about a year worth of work if you cant tell). this thing has a working header, a hopper auger that, when you spin it in the right direction, makes the auger effect, it has a shaker pan, a fan underneath the shaker pan (not where it really would be). A thresher. A divider before the thresher that also acts as a rock stopper on the real thing. It also has the new "X" series drum: a track. It has warning lights, and also a GPS module on top of the cab. It even has a folding unloading auger. On the back it has the spreaders. It has a hopper to. Now, this thing may look like an unfinished skeleton, but that is actually what i wanted it to be. Then you can easily see all the super cool features. This thing was finished before my 14th birthday. It was just sitting in a corner until now, when I am typing this, in serious need of reassembly. which is what I plan to do right now. Have fun!
