le trebbie

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Agriculture / harvesting equipment
Italian term or phrase: le trebbie
The translation refers to the multiple platforms that can be mounted to a combine, from corn headers, maize headers, etc... I am trying to find correct term to identify the actual 'trebbie'. This is present day equipment, so I am presuming that 'thresher' is outdated.

Thanks.
