ABSTRACT:
A plant deflector assembly adapted for mounting to an open frame of a row crop harvester which is movable over a field of plants. The plant deflector assembly includes a series of fore-and-aft spaced elongated deflector members which are adapted to pass beneath at least a portion of a drive assembly on the harvester and extend transversely across a frame of the harvester for vertically deflecting and inhibiting plants passing beneath the harvester from rising into contact with the drive assembly and becoming entangled therewith. The series of spaced deflector members are mounted to extend from an area adjacent a forward end of the harvester frame and extend rearwardly to an area adjacent an engine forming part of the drive assembly. The plant deflector assembly may further include a mounting apparatus adapted for securement to the frame of the harvester and to which the plant deflector members are secured. The mounting apparatus preferably includes at least two fore-and-aft extending and generally parallel arms defining a series of mounting holes which promote releasable securement of the plant deflector members thereto.
