Farm machinery enthusiast and photographer Chris Lockwood shows a representative sample of the combine harvesters which are most likely to be seen working in Britains fields. In general he has featured modern combines though there are also one or two classics and he shows several models from the most widely seen makes.

Most of Chriss photographs show combines at work. He has selected shots that demonstrate different aspects of the machines clearly their headers, straw choppers and so on. Opposite each full-page photograph his concise text explains what is going on in the pictures. He includes some basic technical specifications such as header size and engine power. He gives years of introduction, how the machine fits into the manufacturers range and the country of manufacture and/or assembly.
