Must have hit Submit twice.
There's often an internet lag and you think it's done nothing so press Submit again.

I've fixed it now

You are right. That was the reason to take the picture. I liked the composition.

What part of the combine will I find the "levelers", what do the levelers level, and why is there no truck running beside the combine to take the wheat from the field to market?

Thank you for educating a city boy!

The levelers extend wheels to keep internal working parts of combine on level surface. Grain loss can result from being tipped too far.

This combine has a large hopper behind the cab, when close to full he will signal the bankout tractor or truck to drive along side and empty the hopper. With some really steep terrain the combine might have to drive to the truck.

There's one on its side just over the hill from me that remained where it ended up.
They're huge machines. Once they get away they're a mind of their own!

I ran older ones in the late 80s. We harvested some very steep ground. Another combine operator had his hydraulic pump fail and he free wheeled for a quarter mile to the bottom of a ravine. Pretty scary stuff at times.
