More Information
Summary:An agricultural harvester (10) has a residue handling system (70) including a straw beater (90) for receiving material other than grain from a threshing and separating system (24). A subsequent residue treatment device (72) receives the material from the straw beater (90) and breaks down larger parts of the material prior to discharge from the agricultural harvester (10). At least one wind generating system (92) is located at an end of the straw beater (90) and directs a flow of air (80) from the vicinity of the straw beater (90) to the subsequent residue treatment device (72). The flow of air (80) is directed to pass substantially through an upper rearward part of the residue handling system (70). The flow of air (80) operates to further entrain, render airborne, and transport material other than grain proceeding from the straw beater (90) to the subsequent residue treatment device (72).
