CROP DEFLECTOR FOR SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A crop deflector (20) mounted on a self- propelled vehicle (11) having a frame (16), a wheel (14), and a shock absorbing suspension assembly (12) mounting the wheel (14) to the frame (16). A deflector frame (24) is coupled to the wheel (14) such that the deflector frame (24) steers with the wheel (14) as the deflector frame (24) pivots in a main support (18) on the suspension assembly (12) such that the deflector frame (24) does not move directly with the wheel (14) when the wheel (14) is loaded by contact with rough ground surface. A deflector shield (26) is attached to the deflector frame (24) for interacting with the crop rows. In a preferred embodiment, the deflector frame (24) is pivotally connected to the suspension assembly (12) by a bushing (30) such that the deflector frame (24) pivots about the steering axis of the wheel (14) so it turns with the wheel (14). A steering arm (36) connected to the wheel support (23) and to the deflector frame 24) steers the crop deflector (20) thereby causing the deflector frame (24) to pivot about the steering axis.
