ABSTRACT:
A chopping apparatus has a housing on one side of which is provided a chopper reel rotatable in a forward direction for chopping and a reverse direction for sharpening, and on its other side with a fan rotatable in a reverse direction for discharging chopped crop supplied to it by a conveyor extending across the housing from the chopper. A transmission has a unidirectionally rotatable input shaft and a pair of mutually oppositely rotating and parallel output shafts. This transmission is secured to the fan side of the housing and the fan is directly carried on one of the output shafts. These output shafts are both exposed toward the chopper and either of them can be connected to the chopper drive by means of a universal-joint shaft having a snap coupling releasably connectable to either of the shafts for changing rotation direction of the reel independently of the fan.
