ABSTRACT:
A row crop harvester, such as a corn head, has a plurality of forwardly extending gathering members adapted to move between adjacent rows of row planted crops as the harvester advances, and each gathering member includes a hood-like downwardly and forwardly inclined shield structure having forwardly converging sides tapered to a forward gathering point. Removably mounted on top of the shield structure is a shield extension or ear saver that includes an upright inverted U-shaped support, the opposite ends of which are receivable in upright sockets on the opposite sides of the shield structure, a rear panel coplaner with the support and closing the interior thereof, the rear panel having a lower edge abutting the top of the shield structure, and a front panel that is generally semiconical in shape and extends forwardly and downwardly from the support, the apex of the front panel abutting the top of the shield structure. A quickly releasable latch is provided between the top of the shield structure and the front panel adjacent the apex, so that the shield extension can be quickly removed by releasing the latch and lifting the support and the front and rear panels attached thereto upwardly from the shield structure.
