The binder has a main driv-ing wheel, gearing for power transmission, a cutter bar, areel to gather the grain and place it on the platform, andcanvas elevators to carry the cut grain to the binder attach-ment where it is gathered into bundles and tied. The most important of all these parts is the binderattachment. The success of this part determines to a largeextent the success of the implement.
