Abstract: A harvesting machine including a frame, a plurality of ground engaging wheels, at least one grain separating section, a plurality of cross augers and a grain moving device. The plurality of ground engaging wheels support the frame. The at least one grain separating section is supported by the frame. The plurality of cross augers are positioned to receive grain from the at least one grain separating section. The plurality of cross augers each have an end. The grain moving device is associated with each of the plurality of cross augers proximate to the end of the plurality of cross augers.

Abstract: An apparatus connectable toward a downstream end of an agricultural combine for uniformly distributing residue material over a broad area. The apparatus is rotatable within a housing and about an axis extending generally parallel to a longuitudinal axis of the combine for distributing residue material from opposite sides of the combine. In those combines that use a cleaning system including a blower for directing a stream of air rearwardly toward a discharge end of the combine, the apparatus of the present invention accepts the stream of cleaning air from the blower and redirects or turns the air along with the residue material entrained therewith outwardly from opposite sides of the combine to broadly distribute the residue under the influence of an air flow thereby projecting the residue material over a broad area with uniformity.

Abstract: A transverse fan assembly including a fan rotatably disposed in an air plenum for driving air through an inlet opening and forcing air from an outlet opening defined by the air plenum. The fan includes an elongated axis of rotation defined by a central hub. A plurality of elongated fan blades extend in an axial cylindrical pattern about the hub to define an open-center fan. The fan further includes two disk-shaped fan blade mounting members arranged toward opposite ends of the fan. Each blade mounting member is connected to and extends radially from the hub. The fan blades are connected to and driven by the blade mounting members whereby establishing an air flow through the inlet opening and from the outlet opening.
