ABSTRACT:
An attachment for a harvester for picking up and combining downed corn stalks or the like in which the harvester is of the type having a plurality of inner dividers and two outer dividers, all with tapered snouts between which throats are provided defining entrances to the combine for upright rows of corn to pass therethrough. The device includes rollers carried on a top surface of the outer dividers and a plurality of chains having flexible outwardly extending fingers carried on the chain and driven, these chains being disposed on the top surface of the inner dividers and a driving arrangement which simultaneously drives both the rollers and chains so that corn stalks or similar articles which are downed or bent over can engage these rollers and chains and be lifted upwardly and directed to the corn stalk throat entrance of the combine for further processing.
