Floating anti-wrap system for a conveyor topshaft
An agricultural vehicle feeder assembly having: a feeder housing, a shaft mounted to rotate relative to the feeder housing, first and second rotary drives mounted to rotate with the shaft at a first and second axial positions along the shaft, and an anti-wrap cover assembly extending an entire distance from the first rotary drive to the second rotary drive and at least partially surrounding the first rotary drive, the second rotary drive, and the shaft between the first rotary drive and the second rotary drive. The anti-wrap cover assembly is rotatably mounted the first rotary drive, the second rotary drive and/or the shaft. A connector joins the feeder housing to the anti-wrap cover assembly. The connector is configured to allow the anti-wrap cover assembly to move through a predetermined limited range of motion relative to the feeder housing.
Helical auger flight assemblies and thresher formed therewith
A helical auger flight has an inner edge, an outer edge, an inner face, an outer face, and a leading extremity that includes a prominence and a leading edge that extends from the outer edge to the prominence. The prominence extends outward from the leading edge of the leading extremity to an outer end having an upturned jut. A wear plate is releasably connected to the inner face of the helical auger flight. The wear plate extends from the outer edge of the helical auger flight to the prominence. A front extremity of the wear plate extends forwardly of the leading edge of the helical auger flight so as to be in a shielding relationship with respect to the leading edge of the helical auger flight, and a nose of the front extremity of the wear plated is seated in direct contact against a contact surface of the jut.

Helical auger flight assemblies and thresher formed therewith
A threshing drum has a cylindrical exterior, and a cuttings intake end having a seating surface. A helical auger flight, affixed to the cylindrical exterior of the threshing drum at the cuttings intake end, extends helically outward from the cylindrical exterior of the threshing drum from the inner edge to the outer edge and rearward from the leading extremity adjacent to the seating surface to the trailing extremity. The outer face faces forwardly toward the cuttings intake end. The inner face faces rearwardly away from the cuttings intake end. A wear plate includes a front extremity having a nose. The wear plate is connected to the inner face of the helical auger flight, the front extremity extends forwardly of the leading edge of the helical auger flight, and the nose of the wear plate is in direct contact against the seating surface of the cuttings intake end.
CROP ENGAGING ELEMENT FOR A COMBINE HARVESTER SEPARATING ROTOR
A combine harvester with a separating rotor, rotor tube and a plurality of crop engaging finger elements. Each finger element is mounted to a respective finger support which is secured to the rotor tube. Each finger element has a planar body with a flared base portion which presents a leading edge to the crop material with a relatively shallow angle with respect to the tube.
Agricultural harvester with improved rotor transition geometry
An agricultural harvester includes a chassis and a threshing and separating system carried by the chassis that is configured for threshing and separating grain from gathered crop material. The threshing and separating system includes: a rotor defining a longitudinal axis; a concave at least partially surrounding the rotor; a transition cone defining an infeed to the rotor; and a transition surface connecting the transition cone to the concave and having a conical portion defined about the longitudinal axis and a blended portion connected to the conical portion. The blended portion defines a first end connected to the conical portion and a second end distanced from the first end in a lateral direction. The blended portion defines a substantially conical shape about the longitudinal axis at the first end and approaches a substantially cylindrical shape about the longitudinal axis toward the second end.

Inlet head housing for an axial separating device
An inlet head housing for an axial separating device includes a pair of separating rotors arranged parallel to one another having a first end protruding, in sections, into the inlet head housing. The inlet head housing also includes flat inlet sections extending along a width of each of the respective separating rotors and a ramp-shaped housing section having a substantially concave profile is arranged between the flat inlet sections. The housing section at least partially supports a separation of a crop flow into two partial flows to the separating rotors and a substantially blade-shaped separating element is arranged on the ramp-shaped housing section and extends substantially axially parallel thereto.
CUTTING LONGITUDINAL SWATHS GRAIN HARVESTING AND BALING COMBINE
A cutting longitudinal swaths grain harvesting and baling combine, includes a grain cutting and conveying system, a threshing and separation system, a grain cleaning apparatus, a grain collection and holding system, a straw compression and baling apparatus, a chassis travelling system, and a driving system; when the combine is harvesting grain in fields, the stalks are cut and conveyed to the threshing and separation system by the grain cutting and conveying system; the threshed and separated straw is compressed and baled by the straw compression and baling apparatus; the threshed and separated grain is cleaned by the grain cleaning apparatus; and the cleaned grain is conveyed by the grain collection and holding system to a grain storage bin. The combine can achieve harvesting of grain such as rice and wheat as well as compression and baling of threshed straw, having advantages of high working efficiency, stable performance, a simple process, and being time and labor saving.
