ABSTRACT:
A combine with a rotor assembly having an impeller at a forward end and a cylindrical drum axially extending from the impeller. The rotor assembly is provided with a series of thresher elements secured about the circumference of the rotor in generally helical arrays and is provided with a plurality of linearly extended thresher elements each having a smooth outer material engaging surface and which are secured about that end of the drum adjacent the impeller. When the rotor assembly is operated, the plurality of linearly extended thresher elements form a paddle like mechanism which extends to a forward end of the rotor assembly to offer enhanced control over the abundance of material being threshed at a forward end of the rotor assembly while simultaneously minimizing damage to the crop thereby maximizing the farmer's profit.
