Abstract
A cotton harvester having a harvesting head assembly mounted to a chassis of the harvester for generally vertical movement. The harvesting head assembly includes a plurality of harvesting units for removing a commingled mixture of materials including trash and cotton from plants as the harvester is driven across a field, and a cleaning mechanism for receiving and processing the commingled mixture of materials received from the harvesting units thereby separating trash from cotton as the harvester moves across the field. The cleaning mechanism is mounted between the harvesting units and a discharge area on the head assembly to facilitate the flow of cotton materials to a cotton receiving receptacle and increase the holding capacity of the receptacle by eliminating trash that normally flows thereto as a result of the harvesting operation.
