Abstract
An axial flow combine having a forward elevating conveyor leading to the feeder house in which beating rotors coact with stationary concave grates and also includes augers on the forward ends of the rotors to insure positive feed of crop material from the elevating conveyor to the rotors. The invention includes feed divider vanes extending in the direction of feed of the crop material from the elevating conveyor to the rotors and are fixedly positioned upon a ramp extending beneath the augers to divide the oncoming material fed to each auger into two streams to minimize the tendency for the material, such as tough long straw experienced in rice, to be formed into spiral rope-like configurations incident to being transformed from linear feed direction by the elevating conveyor to lateral spiral motion, caused by the augers, for delivery between the rotors and grates for threshing the material.
