Dual research plot harvester with unconventional grain flow

A harvester for separately collecting and separately measuring grain harvested simultaneously from more than one individual variety plot, the harvester comprising:

• a weighing grain side and an opposite side and a fore and an aft, said harvester comprising:
• (a) mounted on a main frame two separate and distinct sections of an intake, threshing, separating and cleaning assemblies, said two sections formed to avoid grain migration from one section to the other section, said intake comprising two separate, floatably mounted feeder house drums;
• (b) two separate and distinct lateral conveyors for separately moving grain cleaned in one of said assemblies to a left side of the harvester as viewed from the rear of the harvester;
• (c) two substantially vertical conveying means for separately conveying said separately cleaned grain from one of each of said lateral conveyors upwardly to a discharge;
• (d) a divided clean grain bin, wherein each clean grain bin separately receives said separately cleaned grain from one of said lateral conveyors' discharge such that;
• and, wherein
• (e) at least one physical characteristic of a sample of said cleaned grain is separately measured prior to conveying commingled grain to a clean grain tank.

A harvester for collecting crop material and grain from at least two plots, simultaneously, which discards the crop material which is substantially debris and separately measures the grain, from each plot, said harvester comprising:

• (a) a harvester main frame comprising a weighing grain side, an opposite side and a fore and aft;
• (b) a clean grain tank supported on said said frame;
• (c) a first and second divided compartments, supported on said harvester frame, said first and second divided compartments, form a separate right and left grain path adapted to handle the grain from said plots separately in the respective right and left grain path, said crop material and grain moving along said respective right and left grain path from fore to aft of the harvester through the intake, wherein said intake has separate floatably mounted feeder house drums, and through threshing, separating and cleaning assemblies, to separate debris in each respective right and left grain path from the grain without commingling the grain of one plot with the grain of the other plot wherein resultant grain is first and second cleaned grain from one of each right and left grain path;
• and
• (d) a first and second grain conveyor adapted to respectively move said first and second cleaned grain laterally, without commingling of the first and second cleaned grain, for discharge into a first and second divided clean grain bin for discarding into a weigh bucket wherein each respective first and second cleaned grain from each plot has a physical characteristic measured, and then said measured first and second clean grain is commingled when discarded forming discarded measured clean grain, and a discard conveyor for conveying the discarded measured clean grain to the opposite side of the harvester for discard within the clean grain tank.
