Abstract
An agricultural harvester includes: a harvester frame; and an agricultural header coupled with the harvester frame, the agricultural header including: a header frame; an end row divider coupled with the header frame; an auger mounted to the end row divider and configured for moving a crop material rearwardly, the auger including a centerline; and an auger stripper coupled with the end row divider and configured for stripping the crop material from the auger, the auger stripper being angularly disposed relative to the centerline.
Claims15
An agricultural harvester, comprising:
- a harvester frame;
- and
- an agricultural header coupled with the harvester frame, the agricultural header including:
- a header frame;
- an end row divider coupled with the header frame, the end row divider having an inboard side and an outboard side;
- an auger mounted to the end row divider and configured for moving a crop material rearwardly, the auger having a centerline, a front end, and a rear end;
- and
- an auger stripper coupled with the end row divider and configured for stripping the crop material from the auger, the auger stripper being angularly disposed relative to the centerline and extending below the auger from the inboard side of the end row divider adjacent the front end to the outboard side of the end row divider.
An agricultural header of an agricultural harvester, the agricultural harvester including a harvester frame, the agricultural header being coupled with the harvester frame, the agricultural header comprising:
- a header frame;
- an end row divider coupled with the header frame, the end row divider having an inboard side and an outboard side;
- an auger mounted to the end row divider and configured for moving a crop material rearwardly, the auger having a centerline, a front end, and a rear end;
- and
- an auger stripper coupled with the end row divider and configured for stripping the crop material from the auger, the auger stripper being angularly disposed relative to the centerline and extending below the auger from the inboard side of the end row divider adjacent the front end to the outboard side of the end row divider.
A method of using an agricultural harvester, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing that the agricultural harvester includes a harvester frame and an agricultural header coupled with the harvester frame, the agricultural header including a header frame, an end row divider coupled with the header frame, the end row divider having an inboard side and an outboard side, and an auger mounted to the end row divider and configured for moving a crop material rearwardly, the auger having a centerline, a front end, and a rear end;
- and
- stripping, by way of an auger stripper coupled with the end row divider, the crop material from the auger, the auger stripper being angularly disposed relative to the centerline and extending below the auger from the inboard side of the end row divider adjacent the front end to the outboard side of the end row divider.
