Abstract
A combine harvester including a grain tank having an auger trough in which a screw conveyor of an unloading system is disposed. The screw conveyor is operable to define an upturning side and a downturning side. The grain tank includes a floor section that covers the upturning side to prevent back flow and the formation of a stagnation zone in the vicinity thereof.

A combine harvester comprising a grain tank having an auger trough in which a cross auger of an unloading system is disposed, the cross auger being operable to define an upturning side and a downturning side, wherein the grain tank comprises a generally planar floor panel having a discharge edge parallel to a rotation axis of the cross auger, wherein the generally planar floor panel covers the upturning side and leaves the downturning side exposed.
A combine harvester comprising a grain tank having an auger trough in which a cross auger of an unloading system is disposed, the cross auger being operable to define an upturning side and a downturning side, wherein the grain tank comprises a generally planar floor section having a discharge edge parallel to a rotation axis of the cross auger, wherein the generally planar floor panel covers the upturning side and leaves the downturning side substantially exposed.
A combine harvester comprising:
- a grain tank having a generally planar floor section extending over an auger trough;
- a cross auger disposed in the auger trough, the cross auger being operable to define an upturning side and a downturning side, wherein the generally planar floor section has a discharge edge parallel to a rotation axis of the cross auger, and wherein the generally planar floor section covers the upturning side and leaves the downturning side substantially exposed.
