ABSTRACT:
A vine shield for a finger-type header with feeder shafts includes a plurality of curved channel-shaped bars having upper ends releasably secured to supports extending transversely over the stripping fingers. A shaft support structure mounts two timed feeder shafts of large radius with feeder fingers projecting between the bars to define overlapping paths which eliminate most of the dead space between the shafts for improved cotton flow rearwardly over the stripping fingers. The channel-shaped bars prevent vine wrapping and open away from the axes of the shafts for improved trash shedding capabilities. The shaft support structure pivots about the rear feeder shaft axis for on-the-go vertical adjustment of the forward feeder shaft to accommodate substantial plant height variations. The feeder fingers are designed for easy attachment and removal and have a symmetrical design so they can be reversed.
