A crop harvesting header includes a cutter bar arranged across a forward edge, a draper or auger transport arrangement for transporting the cut crop, and a reel mounted on reel arms having a plurality of reel bats at spaced positions around the reel axis each reel bat having reel fingers projecting generally radially outwardly from the reel axis. Each bat is mounted for pivotal movement about its bat axis. At both ends of each bat is mounted a crop divider which pivots with the bat and is formed with a plate lying in a radial plane of the bat with angularly spaced fingers around the outer edge. A leading edge of the plate and front finger is convexly curved relative to the concave curve of the front edge of the finger and is angularly advanced relative to the leading edge of the adjacent fingers such that the rotating crop dividers on the reel co-operate with a stationary crop on the header to separate the cut crop from uncut crop passing alongside the end of the header.

For a row crop header, a row divider having a variable-height ear saver feature. The row divider comprises a point, a cover, and a partition. The point has a trailing edge vertically moveable relative to the cover. The partition fills a resultant gap between the point and the cover, forming a variable-height ear saver feature. A crankshaft functions to articulate the trailing edge relative to the cover, and to move the partition vertically with the trailing edge. A support functions to support the point at a midpoint. A guide constrains the partition within the gap.

A method and apparatus for automatically controlling a header lift system of an agricultural harvesting machine, particularly a windrower, to put a header of the machine into a transport mode wherein the header is raised to an elevated transport position, under certain specific conditions. Such conditions can include, but are not limited to, the machine operating in a high-speed range, the header not operating, the speed of the machine being above a predetermined level, and the last inputted control command being a header raise command. When in the transport mode, the lift system can also be operated in a float mode. Further, the header lift system can be returned to a normal mode when certain criteria are present for doing so.

In a header having a movably mounted knife and a guard for shielding the moving and rotating components operating the knife, the guard preferably comprising two interconnected parts of which the first part is mounted on the header so as not to move with the knife and the second part is coupled for movement with the knife. In this way, the area shielded by the guard automatically expands and contracts with movement of the knife.

An agricultural harvesting machine for harvesting sugar cane, with means for working coupled to a tractor or any self-propelling machine, by using mechanic power (TDP) converted into hydraulic power (pump) to activate different devices of a set, so that it may form a wire cutting front for lanes of plants which are cut and thrown behind over the soil and organized in rows for later collecting and processing.

A cutting device, particularly a lawn mower, has at least one rotating knife mounted on a rotating, motor-driven knife carrier by a screwless, detachable connection. This connection is detachable by a relative rotation between the knife and the knife carrier. It is essential that the connection between the knife and its knife carrier be made by a centrally arranged bayonet lock and that this bayonet lock be locked in the closed position by an additional locking element.

A draper header (102) is provided having the elongate laterally extending frame (104) and two forwardly extending crop dividers (116, 118) at each end. A gear box (120, 122) is mounted on the front of each crop divider (116, 118). The gearbox (120, 122) has two output shafts (148, 152), a first shaft (148) that is coupled to and drives an elongate reciprocating knife (112) extending across the leading edge of the draper header (102) and a second shaft (152) that is coupled to and drives a crop divider knife (128, 129). The crop divider knife (128, 129) includes a quick coupling (144) that engages a quick coupling (154) mounted on the second shaft (152).

A method for operating an attachment for harvesting stalk-like crops mounted on a carrier vehicle including a plurality of working tools and at least one stalk-guiding element mounted upstream from the working tools, the method including a step of causing the at least one stalk-guiding element to pivot as a function of the location or position of at least one of the attachment and the carrier vehicle.

The invention relates to a combine harvester gas blowing type divider suitable for coarse grain harvesting. A gas blowing type dividing mechanism comprises a fan, an gas flow pipe I, an gas flow pipe II, an gas flow pipe III, a left divider sleeve and a right divider sleeve; the left divider sleeve and the right divider sleeve are mounted on a cutting table frame; a plurality of gas guide pipes are arranged at one end, extending into the left divider sleeve, of the gas flow pipe III as well as at one end, extending into the right divider sleeve, of the gas flow pipe I; gas holes which are identical with the gas guide pipes in quantity and are matched with the gas guide pipes in position are formed in each of the left divider sleeve and the right divider sleeve. The divider provided by the invention has the benefits that in the driving process, to-be-harvested and unharvested crops are better divided through the inner gas holes and the outer gas holes; the gas holes above the divider can effectively blow open the intertwined crops; through gas blown in three directions, the purpose of dividing the intertwined crops can be better realized.

A divider support apparatus with integral adjustable torsional preload mechanism for connecting a divider to a header frame. The mechanism includes a first element for carrying the divider and a second element configured for connection to the frame, and at least one resilient biasing element disposed between the first element and the second element and biasable by generation of a torsional loading condition between the first and second elements for applying a preload force therebetween. A preload adjusting mechanism in connection with at least one of the first element and the second element is operable for selectably adjusting the biasing of the at least one resilient biasing element in a manner for adjusting the preload force. The preload mechanism is also operable for damping vibrations emanating from the divider.

A corn head divider lift assist linkage comprises two members and a spring pivotally coupled together, wherein one of the two members is pivotally coupled to a row crop divider and another of the two members is pivotally coupled to a bracket that is fixed at the rear of two adjacent row units.

A curtain for directing severed crop movement in a cutting header in an agricultural harvester. The curtain optimizes crop movement between a cutterbar to a crop conveying auger for lateral movement of the crop material from outboard ends of the cutting header toward an interior discharge zone for formation of a windrow. The curtain also reduces the tendency for clogging that occurs when crop approaches conveying augers on both sides of an axial centerline by directing all crop material toward the trailing side of the rotating auger and by preventing airflow generated by the auger from disrupting crop approaching the auger. Crop smoothing by the curtain also reduces disturbances to the crop material during movement within the header which reduces seed loss in seed-bearing specialty crops.
