ABSTRACT:
An improved direct-loading crop harvester is disclosed as having a single rotating disc which supports the front end of a pickup conveyor which is pivotally attached to the main frame of the harvester. The disc is provided with a plurality of broad teeth along its periphery and is caused to rotate in a manner which severs the crops at a point near ground level as the harvester proceeds in a forward direction. In this manner, the single cutting disc provides the sole means of support for the front end of the pickup conveyor, and the cross-sectional shape of the cutting disc determines the height above the ground at which the vines are severed. This invention is particularly useful in harvesting crops from planting ridges which are covered with plastic.
