Patent

CA 2179247

A header attachment for mounting on the straight cut header of a combine includes a guide plate which engages over the knife of the straight cut header with arms extend underneath the header so as to hold the header attachment in fixed position on the header frame. At the front of the guide plate is mounted a pair of pick-ups which are inclined slightly rearwardly and outwardly and each is independently pivotal on the guide plate so that each end of each pick- up can be raised and lowered to follow ground contour. A coulter is mounted in front of each end of each pick-up so as to be responsive to ground level while cutting the lying crop. Each pick-up includes a series of baits arranged edge to edge and held in abutting position by ribs on the inside surface of the belts which cooperate with the corresponding grooves in the outside surface of the guide rollers. The header is used to convert a straight cut header for harvesting lying crops such as peas.
