Abstract
A feed train assembly for a sugarcane harvester includes a first feed section comprising a plurality of first pairs of upper and lower feed rollers configured to receive a first mat of sugarcane, with such pairs of upper and lower feed rollers comprising a first upstream pair of upper and lower feed rollers. The feed train assembly also includes a second feed section comprising a plurality of second pairs of upper and lower feed rollers configured to receive a second mat of sugarcane, and a combined feed section configured to receive the first and second mats of sugarcane from the first and second feed sections, respectively. A rotational axis of the lower feed roller of the first upstream pair of upper and lower feed rollers is oriented non-parallel relative to a rotational axis of the upper feed roller of the first upstream pair of upper and lower feed rollers.
