ABSTRACT:
An agricultural implement for conditioning a crop comprises a plurality of beaters mounted for rotation about a common axis a cutter for cutting a crop, and mounting structure for mounting the beaters and cutter, during a cutting operation, in co-operating relationship such that the beaters engage crop cut by the cutter before said cut crop falls to the ground, and condition the crop. The cutter may be a horizontal reciprocatory cutter mounted across the line of travel of the implement, or may be a rotary drum, disc or like cutter.
Transfer structure may vary the dispositions of the common axis of the beaters, the cutter and the frame of the implement between a first cutting disposition in which the mounting structure mounts the beaters in the co-operating relationship with the cutter, and a second non-cutting disposition in which said cutter is rendered ineffective to cut crop and the mounting structure mounts the beaters in a non co-operating relationship with the cutter such as to engage previously cut crop lying on the ground. The implement may be coupled to a forage harvester including a precision chopper for chopping crop conditioned by the beaters.
