From the early 20th century, petrol or diesel-powered threshing machines, designed especially to thresh [[rice]], the most important crop in Asia, have been developed along different lines to the modern combine.

Even after the combine was invented and became popular, a new compact-size thresher called a ''harvester'', with wheels, still remains in use and at present it is available from a Japanese agricultural manufacturer. The compact-size machine is very convenient to handle in small terrace fields in mountain areas where a large machine, such as a combine, is not usable.

People there use this harvester with a modern compact [[Reaper-binder|binder]].
