ABSTRACT:
In apparatus for picking up and conveying cut crop, a conveying rotor is mounted on a mobile frame which is moved over the ground, and is rotated in a manner such as to pick up previously cut crop lying on the ground and to convey the crop upwardly and rearwardly over the rotor and along a passage of the mobile frame. The rotor is a brush-like structure having a multiplicity of stiff, resilient, elongate elements which are yieldable in response to engagement with the crop but are sufficiently stiff to penetrate at least part of a stream of crop conveyed by the rotor. The elements pick-up and convey crop by an action including relative movement between the conveying elements and the crop engaged thereby. The elements are arranged in tufts of element supported and protected at the base by a sleeve, and the tufts are spaced apart in the direction of the rotor axis. In other arrangements the elements may be arranged with individual elements spaced apart in the direction of the rotor. Also the rotor may pick-up cut crop from a cutting mechanism.
