i think it was yesterday i forgot to uncheck the permission to use my tools on farms i only wanted harvested. i was ****** at myself thinking of all the crops we were both losing and all the xp he wouldn't be receiving yet when i checked - he was only harvesting.

so was the forced use of the combine just a glitch and has it been fixed?

If you hire someone to harvest only they won't be allowed to use the combine, that is harvest/plow. If you let them use your tools then they would be allowed to use your highest harvester if they want to and have the fuel to use it. The employee isn't force to use any tool, it is up to the employee if they want to use the employers tools or not. As long as they do all of the work whether or not they use your tools they will get the bonus.
