A thresher is an important tractor implement that cleans or separates the grains or seeds from the crop stalks and husk. It can be used to thresh a wide variety of crops, including soybeans, maize, peas and wheat. In comparison to harvesters, they are more economical for farmers as threshers are comparatively lower in price.
Threshers have several advantages, including higher yield and better grain quality. Due to the efficient separation of grains and less wastage, you obtain a higher yield of grains. Also, as there is less seed breakage, you get clean grains of top quality. Threshers have higher efficiency as the threshing process is automated. Thus, you need to put in less effort and time than the manual threshing method.
The main components of threshing machines are drive pulley, feeding chute, cylinder, spikes, fan or blower, flywheel, concave, frame, lower sieve, upper sieve, frame, suspension lever, transport wheel, shutter plate and can pulley.
Threshers can be classified according to the crop, functional components, threshing cylinders and feeding mechanism. Accordingly, the types of threshers are given below:

Most farmers only know about single-crop and multi-crop threshers. A single crop thresher is a specialized implement that can only thresh a single crop type— for example, maize thresher and paddy thresher. On the other hand, a multi-crop thresher can thresh a wide range of crops like gram, sorghum, wheat and paddy.
Other popular thresher types are Haramba and Basket. In a haramba thresher, the feeding chute is present at the top, so farmers have to feed the cut crop by standing on the provided platform. However, the feeding chute is present at the back of the basket thresher. Thus, you can easily and directly feed crops into the basket thresher while conveniently standing at the back. Also, a basket thresher offers top-notch performance with 45+ HP tractors.

An agriculture thresher machine is connected to the power take-off (PTO) of the tractor. So, always consider the PTO HP of your tractor before choosing any thresher model.
The thresher price is between INR 1,80,000* and 5,50,000* in India. The thresher machine price can vary based on factors like its size, capacity and brand. Also, a point to note is that the multicrop thresher price is usually higher as it comes with more versatile mechanisms to thresh various types of crops. On the other hand, the mini thresher price is lower as a mini thresher has a smaller threshing drum and only 1-2 fans. In addition, its threshing capacity is also low.
