Default What are the Combines?

Q. What are the Combines?

A. There are TWO types of Combines and they come in several sizes. They all cost Farm Cash. These tools use Fuel.


Combine Harvest-Plow tools will harvest crops and plow fields with each click of the tool. It uses fuel for Harvesting not for the Plowing.

Combine Harvest-Plant tools will harvest crops, plow fields and plant new seeds with each click of the tool. It uses fuel for the Harvesting and Seeding not for the Plowing.





These tools are not for working overlapped crops faster AND Overlapping fields is still not officially supported by the developers BUT you must own all the sizes up to and including the 16x16 before you can buy your first EX Combine-Plow or EX Combine Harvest-Plant to be able to work overlapped fields faster.

For full details on ALL the crop tools tools that can work overlapped crops faster click on this link:
Are there tools for working overlapped fields?


For the tool to be able to get the maximum amount of fields per click your fields must be plowed close together and in line with each other. If the fields are offset the tool either won't be able to get them all or will try to grab an odd pattern.


To buy the Combine Harvest-Plow, you must own the relevant size Harvester and Plower before you can buy the same size Combine Harvest-Plow.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (5x5) will harvest and plow up to 25 fields in a squared 5x5 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (6x6) will harvest and plow up to 36 fields in a squared 6x6 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (8x8) will harvest and plow up to 64 fields in a squared 8x8 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (10x10) will harvest and plow up to 100 fields in a squared 10x10 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (12x12) will harvest and plow up to 144 fields in a squared 12x12 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (14x14) will harvest and plow up to 196 fields in a squared 14x14 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (16x16) will harvest and plow up to 256 fields in a squared 16x16 area.

    When you own the Combine Harvest-Plow 16x16 you meet the requirement to buy your first EX Combine Harvest-Plow.

    If you are not overlapping crops you can continue buying the bigger size tools:

  • Combine Harvest-Plow (18x18) will harvest and plow up to 324 fields in a squared 18x18 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (20x20) will harvest and plow up to 400 fields in a squared 20x20 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (22x22) will harvest and plow up to 484 fields in a squared 22x22 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (24x24) will harvest and plow up to 576 fields in a squared 24x24 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (28x28) will harvest and plow up to 784 fields in a squared 28x28 area.


To buy the Combine Harvest-Plant, you must own the same size Combine Harvest-Plow AND the same size Seeder before you can buy the Combine Harvest-Plant.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (5x5) will harvest, plow and plant up to 25 fields in a squared 5x5 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (6x6) will harvest, plow and plant up to 36 fields in a squared 6x6 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (8x8) will harvest, plow and plant up to 64 fields in a squared 8x8 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (10x10) will harvest, plow and plant up to 100 fields in a squared 10x10area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (12x12) will harvest, plow and plant up to 144 fields in a squared 12x12 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (14x14) will harvest, plow and plant up to 196 fields in a squared 14x14 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (16x16) will harvest, plow and plant up to 256 fields in a squared 16x16 area.

    When you own the Combine Harvest-Plow 16x16 you meet the requirement to buy your first EX Combine Harvest-Plant.

    If you are not overlapping crops you can continue buying the bigger size tools:

  • Combine Harvest-Plant (18x18) will harvest, plow and plant up to 324 fields in a squared 18x18 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (20x20) will harvest, plow and plant up to 400 fields in a squared 20x20 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (22x22) will harvest, plow and plant up to 484 fields in a squared 22x22 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (24x24) will harvest, plow and plant up to 576 fields in a squared 24x24 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (28x28) will harvest, plow and plant up to 784 fields in a squared 28x28 area.


When you buy a bigger size tool you will see a popup telling you what you are about to buy, please make sure that you read it and especially note the name and size of the tool before you purchase.
If you do not have Show Tools checked in your Show Preferences that will also be shown in the popup.

If you are buying a tool bigger than the 16x16 there is another popup that will remind you that the tool is not an EX tool for working overlapped crops.
Example:

All unlock requirements and costs of the combines are listed in Chapter 25 Levels and Unlocking
