ABSTRACT:
A cotton harvester includes air diverting structure for selectively directing air from the air duct structure over the top of the cotton harvester basket to blow away accumulated trash. The upper portion of the air duct is moveable from a normal operating position wherein cotton is directed into the basket, to a cleaning position wherein high velocity air from the duct is directed over the surface of the basket by an air deflector located at the upper forward end of the basket. When no cotton is being picked, such as during turns at the end of the field, the duct is moved from the operating position to the cleaning position to clear the trash from the basket surfaces. In another embodiment of the invention, a barrier in the form of either a brush or a pivoting element located on the dump side of the basket catches debris that would otherwise fall into the cotton receiving receptacle.
