An agricultural combine including an agricultural harvester, a crop tank for harvested material, and an unloading auger assembly for unloading and discharging crop material. The auger assembly has inner and outer auger tubes pivotally connected to one another. The auger tubes pivot between a first position in which the auger tubes extend transversely and are coaxial and a second position in which the auger tubes form an angle. The auger tubes contain augers having first and second couplings at cooperating ends. The first coupling has two projections extending to cooperate with a single radial projection on the second coupling to provide improved engagement.

Folding auger assembly coupler

An agricultural harvester includes an unloading auger carried by a chassis and supplied with cleaned crop material that has passed through a cleaning system. The unloading auger includes a drive auger assembly having a drive coupling and a driven auger assembly. The driven auger assembly includes a hollow tube having an inner surface; an inner rod journaled within the hollow tube and defining a first end and a second end; a coupler attached to the first end of the inner rod that is configured to couple to the drive coupling; and a tube connector rotatably coupling the inner rod to the inner surface of the hollow tube adjacent to the second end of the inner rod. The inner rod is only rotatably coupled to the hollow tube adjacent to the second end of the inner rod.

Driven shaft with rotational kinetic energy dissipation for an agricultural harvester

An agricultural harvester residue handling selection method having the steps of: selecting a chop/swath residue handling mode resulting in a mode selection; setting a chopper speed range for a chopper in a residue handling section dependent upon the mode selection; and positioning a windrow door dependent upon the mode selection.

Method of remotely configuring a residue system of an agricultural harvester

A shifting method for an inline shaft system of a chopper system of an agricultural harvester is described and illustrated. The method includes the steps of detecting, temporarily rotating and engaging. The detecting step detects a failure to properly engage a shift collar with a splined component. The temporarily rotating step temporarily rotates the inline shaft system. The engaging step engages the shift collar with the splined component.
