Abstract: A residue deflector is disposed in a combine body, and positioned along an airflow path to guide residue from an exit end of a cleaning shoe and a threshing and separation assembly, to a residue chopper. The deflector is configured with a plurality of spaced fingers so that air can pass through the deflector between the fingers.

Abstract: A feederhouse conveyor system for an agricultural harvesting machine is provided. The feederhouse conveyor system includes a power transmitting system. The power transmitting system includes first rollers, second rollers, and power transmitting bands. The power transmitting bands are configured to each transmit power between each of the first rollers and the second rollers. The feederhouse conveyor system also includes rigid cross members, configured to each attach near each end to at least one of the power transmitting bands, and flexible cross members configured to each attach near each end to at least one of the power transmitting bands. The centerlines which extend through the rigid cross members and the flexible cross members are parallel. The mat attaches to the flexible cross members by a pocket in the mat through which the flexible cross members extend.

Abstract: A grain harvesting vehicle is configured to harvest a grain. A chaffer is configured to separate grain from material other than grain (MOG). A grate is positioned rearward of the chaffer. The grate includes a grate panel having an upper surface and a lower surface and an aperture in the grate panel extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. The aperture has a first end nearer the chaffer and a second end opposite the first end. The grate further includes a ramp portion extending above the grate panel from adjacent the first end of the aperture toward the second end of the aperture. A grain sensor has a sensing location positioned at a height below the grate.

Abstract: An adjustable divider system that is adapted to assist in distributing a crop material being discharged from a draper header to a feederhouse. The adjustable divider system can include a plurality of dividers positioned adjacent to an upper side of a drum floor and at least one actuator coupled to the plurality of dividers. A controller can be coupled to the at least one actuator and adapted to selectively operate the at least one actuator. Additionally, at least one sensor can be adapted to provide information to the controller indicative of a distribution of the crop material that can be used by the controller in connection with generating a signal to selectively operate the at least one actuator. Further, one or more of the plurality of dividers can be pivotally displaceable about the drum floor in response to the selective operation of the at least one actuator.

Abstract: A rotor assembly for harvesting a crop. The rotor assembly has a rotating portion defined along a rotation axis, a surrounding assembly at least partially surrounding the rotating portion, the surrounding assembly having at least one separation grate coupled to a support. The support defines an inner surface and has at least one interrupter receiver. The at least one interrupter receiver is selectively coupleable to an interrupter to position the interrupter radially inward of the inner surface towards the rotation axis.
