ABSTRACT:
A crop or produce cutting assembly for mounting in a combine header, which assembly is characterized by multiple cutter blades mounted by means of a pair of blade mount brackets on the platform of the combine header, such that the cutter blades are located in close proximity to the combine cross auger. The blades serve to cut vines associated with crop or produce such as soybeans which tend to wrap around the rotating cross auger and reduce efficient processing of the crop through the combine. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the cutter blades are characterized by triangular, double-serrated blades and the blade mount brackets are adjustable to facilitate location of the blades in a selected close proximity to the rotating cross auger. The blades are spaced from each other to facilitate access by auger fingers projecting from the cross auger, which fingers aid in movement of the crop or produce from the rotating cross auger through the combine.
