ABSTRACT:
A tobacco harvester having an aggressive defoliating assembly along with a forward projecting leaf divider assembly that effectively divides a lower group of leaves from remaining leaves of each stalk entering the defoliating assembly during the tobacco harvesting operation. This division enables the defoliator assembly to more effectively and efficiently defoliate the lower group of separated leaves from each stalk passing through the defoliator assembly. When utilized in the form of a tractor mounted harvester, the tobacco harvester of the present invention includes a unique split or half lateral conveyor assembly that enables the harvester to be closely mounted adjacent one side of a conventional farm tractor despite the presence of the tractor's front wheel which with certain sized tractors prevent the utilization of conventional conveyor design without necessitating extra wide width tractor passing rows in the tobacco field.
