Abstract

The harvesting mechanism of the present invention uses a transversely extending threshing means and a rotary separating mechanism. The separating mechanism includes a transversely extending separating rotor having crop treating and crop conveying elements cooperating with a separating concave operable to receive crop material from the threshing means and separate grain from the crop material while the material is being conveyed spirally to one end for discharge.
