Grain-moving arrangement for an agricultural combine

A grain-moving arrangement (76) for an agricultural combine (20), the grain-moving arrangement comprising:

• a first auger (70) configured to rotate to move grain;
• a second auger (58) configured to rotate to move grain;
• an elevator (80) configured to receive grain from the first auger at a first location (150) along an elevator path (96) and move grain from the first location in a first direction (106) along the elevator path to an offload location (108) disposed at a first height above the first location, wherein the elevator includes, upper and lower elevator wheels (100, 98), an elevator flexible member (102) seated on the upper and lower elevator wheels to transmit power between the upper and lower elevator wheels, and a plurality of elevator transport members (104) supported by the elevator flexible member for moving grain along the elevator path;
• and
• a grain-moving device (82) configured receive grain from the second auger and to move grain along a device path (126) in a second direction (136), different than the first direction, to a second location (152) along the elevator path that is at a second height above the first location, wherein the second height is smaller than the first height;
• wherein, when the grain-moving arrangement receives operational power, the grain-moving device moves grain along the device path towards the second location along the elevator path, and the elevator moves grain along the elevator path from the first and second locations to the offload location;
• wherein the upper wheel receives rotational power from a power source (42) to move the flexible member, such that the flexible member rotates the lower wheel and moves the transport members in the first direction along the elevator path;
• and
• wherein the first auger is rotated by rotational power received from the elevator, and a rotational axis (90) of the first auger is coaxial with a rotational axis of the lower wheel (112) such that the first location on the elevator path is disposed proximate a circumference of the lower wheel.
