Abstract
A low profile axial flow combine with a low center of gravity for improved stability, with reduced overall machine height for ease of shipping and with high capacity grain tank of the saddle type. A threshing and separating rotor, in coaxial relationship to a rotor casing, extends longitudinally and approximately horizontally in the combine to the discharge end for low rotor discharge of the threshed materials. Cleaning apparatus including the grain pan, the separator pan, the chaffer, the sieve screen and the blower are compactly nested beneath the rotor casing. A high capacity saddle grain tank extends over and down opposite sides of the rotor casing. A discharge auger extends transversely through the boots of the grain tank and through an auger housing interconnecting the boots. The upper end of the grain pan extends over the auger housing interconnecting the grain tank boots. The lower end of the grain pan is stepped.
