US 2014/0141848 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVEYING AGRICULTURAL MATERIAL IN A HARVESTER

Abstract

A system and method for conveying agricultural material in a harvester. One harvester includes a rotor which rotates to separate a plant into a first agricultural material and a second agricultural material. A grate is disposed vertically below the rotor and further separates the first and second agricultural materials from one another. A first conveyor receives the first and second agricultural material directly from a trailing end of the rotor and a trailing end of the grate.
