ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for harvesting and windrowing of corn utilizes one or more conveyor units swingably mounted to a corn harvesting implement such as a combine or corn picker and has horizontally moving cutting means carried forwardly of the conveyor units. As the implement moves through a field of standing corn, the cutting means severs the cornstalks as harvesting heads on the implement engage the stalk and strip the corn ears from the stalk. The conveyors receive and transport the severed stalks to a cornstalk discharge location between the conveyor units to create a cornstalk windrow along the path of the traveling implement. Corn plant residue, such as leaves, kernels, ear husks and the like, resulting from husking, are discharged from the implement and guided by deflector plates onto the windrow to be retained there for curing and later pickup. A set of horizontally moving knives having upright pushers are carried by an endless moving chain to sever the stalks between converging knives and to urge the stalks toward the windrow. A method of harvesting standing corn by the utilizing of a windrow is also disclosed.
