An elevator assembly for a harvester may include an elevator housing and an elevator extending within the elevator housing between a proximal end and a distal end. As such, the elevator may be configured to carry harvested crops between its proximal and distal ends. Furthermore, the elevator assembly may include a storage hopper extending from the elevator housing at a location adjacent to the distal end of the elevator. The storage hopper may include a conveyor extending within the storage hopper between a first end and a second end, with the conveyor configured to carry the harvested crops between its first and second ends towards a discharge opening of the storage hopper.

Elevator assembly for an agricultural harvester with a storage hopper having a conveyor therein

A harvester includes a chopper assembly configured to process harvested crops and an elevator positioned downstream of the chopper assembly such that the harvested crops processed by the chopper assembly are received by the elevator. The harvester also includes a storage hopper located adjacent to a distal end of the elevator and positioned to receive the harvested crops therefrom, and a conveyor extending within the storage hopper between a first end and a second end of the conveyer, with the conveyor configured to carry the harvested crops between its first and second ends towards a discharge opening of the storage hopper. Additionally, the harvester includes a door positioned adjacent to the discharge opening of the storage hopper, and a door actuator coupled to the door. The door actuator is configured to move the door relative to the discharge opening between an opened position and a closed position.
