-11- "REEL ASSEMBLY FOR SWATH PICK-UP HEADERS OF COMBINES" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Many present day combines utilize a swath pick- up header instead of the cutter bar component. When picking up swaths of crop such as flax, oats, faba beans or the like, which are relatively slippery, the swath often tends to ride above the pick-up fingers and not enter the combine but to build up above the feed auger. Also chaff and fine straw tends to build up at each end of the transverse feed auger all of which often chokes the entrance and prevents effi- cient feeding of the swath to the combine threshing compon- ent or concave. The present device eliminates these faults by providing a rotatable beater assembly situated above the pick-up and forwardly of the transverse feed auger with the lower periphery thereof being preferably slightly below and in advance of the feed auger thus forcing the swath down- wardly and into engagement with the feed auger and prevent- ing overriding from taking place.
