The first and the second conveyor belts are convergent. A transverse conveyor belt is located between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. A reinforcement arranged on the back and the front cover and projecting out of the harvest head. The first and the second convergent conveyor belts carry the grain to the transverse conveyor belt, the transverse conveyor belt introduce the grains into a feeder that ends in a discharge tube. The convergent conveyor belts and the transverse conveyor belt are bands made of composite resins.

Agricultural Elevator Supplied by Multiple Cross Augers

An agricultural harvester includes a chassis, a cleaning system carried by the chassis, a crop material elevator supplied with crop material that has passed through the cleaning system and has a first inlet and a second inlet, and an auger system supplying the crop material from the cleaning system to the crop material elevator. The auger system includes a first auger defining an auger axis that extends in a conveying direction toward the crop material elevator and is configured to supply crop material to the first inlet, a second auger defining a second auger axis that extends in the conveying direction, and a crop material conveyor configured to supply crop material from the second auger to the second inlet generally transverse to the second auger axis.

Harvester with clog determining unit

A harvester capable of autonomous travel in a field includes: a harvesting unit that harvests a crop from the field; a conveyance device that conveys, toward the rear of a harvester body, a whole culm of the harvested crop harvested by the harvesting unit; a detection sensor that detects a drive speed of the conveyance device; and a clog determining unit that determines a clog of the harvested crop in the conveyance device on the basis of the drive speed. The clog determining unit outputs a vehicle stop command that stops the harvester body when the drive speed becomes lower than a pre-set first threshold during the autonomous travel.

Agricultural elevator supplied by multiple cross augers

An agricultural harvester includes a chassis, a cleaning system carried by the chassis, and a crop material elevator for receiving crop material that has passed through the cleaning system.
