ABSTRACT:
A tobacco harvester discharge system is provided for uniformally distributing tobacco leaves into a tobacco bin. A set of rolls positioned over the discharge intercepts a substantial portion of the discharged tobacco leaves and directs them radially outward over the width of the bin. A fan located below the discharge blows air under the discharged tobacco leaves to extend the trajectory of the leaves over the length of the bin by a distance roughly proportional to the flow rate of air from the fan from time to time. The flow rate is controlled in a predetermined pattern to obtain uniform distribution of the discharged leaves over the bin.
