ABSTRACT:
A crop pickup device including a rotatable drum or cylinder with pickup teeth thereon associated with a rake plate or notched stripping panel associated with the pickup teeth to effectively strip the plants from the pickup and collect and guide the seeds which may fall from the plants into the conveyor of the harvesting machine. A transverse manifold with a rearwardly facing slot-like opening is located forwardly of the pickup drum and teeth to prevent the plants from rolling forwardly when they are engaged by the pickup teeth and a pair of side blowers discharge air laterally inwardly and rearwardly which also prevent the plants from rolling forwardly and keep the windrow from fanning out or rolling outside of the pickup drum and teeth. The stripping panel and pickup teeth are constructed of a plastic material which provides self-lubricating qualities to enable a close fitting relation between the teeth and slots and the area of the panel having the slots therein is upwardly inclined and the area between the slots is recessed to form a longitudinal groove-like structure to guide seeds rearwardly toward the auger of the harvesting machine.
