ABSTRACT:
A grain harvesting combine drives the grain in the combine vehicle using three separate chambers connected by auger conveyors. The grain is heated in the first two chambers and air is circulated through them to move the moisture away from the grain. The first chamber is preferably heated by a heat exchanger having fluid that is heated by rejected heat from the combine engine, while in the second chamber a hollow body having a diesel or propane burner within it is provided. In the third chamber ambient or cooled air is passed through perforated walls of the chamber to cool the grain before it is discharged through a load out tube auger to a waiting truck.
