What is a Reaper?

A reaper is a machine designed to cut standing crops like wheat, paddy, barley, and oats close to the ground. The cut crops are then laid in rows for easy collection and threshing. It makes the harvesting process faster, easier, and more efficient for farmers.

⚙️ Types of Reapers

There are different types of reapers used in farming based on the field size and crop type:

Manual Reaper: Used in small fields and operated by hand.
Tractor-Mounted Reaper: Attached to tractors for large-scale harvesting.
Self-Propelled Reaper: Runs with its own engine and is easy to operate.
Reaper Binder: Cuts and ties crops into bundles for easy handling.
