ABSTRACT:
A row crop attachment for forage harvesters includes a plurality of row crop divider units arranged side-by-side on a base frame to define a plurality of crop conveying paths. Gathering chains are arranged to pass through each crop conveying path from an entrance to an exit thereof for conveying crop material through the crop conveying paths. Rotary knives are disposed adjacent the entrance of each crop conveying path for cutting off crop material before it is conveyed rearwardly through the crop conveying paths by the gathering chains. An auger is disposed adjacent the exits of the crop conveying paths for converging crop material exiting from the crop conveying paths toward a longitudinal center line of the row crop attachment. A filler ramp is positioned underneath the auger along this longitudinal center line behind the row crop divider units to prevent accumulation of crop material near the exits of the crop conveying paths.
