Abstract
An axial flow combine harvester with a frame and an axial flow threshing and separating rotor rotatably mounted on the frame in a tubular casing. Feed means are provided for feeding crop material from a crop harvesting table to the axial flow threshing and separating rotor. The feed means includes an auger beater with a shaft rotatably journaled on the frame, at least one spiral flight section with a right hand helix attached to the shaft and at least one spiral flight section with a left hand helix attached to the left. The auger beater receives a mat of crop material, moves both edges of the mat toward the center and then feeds the mat to the axial flow threshing and separating rotor.
