ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for harvesting corn or other cereals with a harvester, particularly a combine attachment for a thresher-harvester, in which the ears of corn or other grains are separated from the plants by way of a single-sided draw of the crop through a gap and is characterized in that a mincing of the crop plants is effected simultaneously with the single-sided draw-through operation. The mincing occurs by a movement of the drawn crop plants relative to a stationary comminution device. A harvester for harvesting corn or other cereals is provided for the implementation of the method, being particularly designed so as to comprise a draw-in device having a gap between a draw-in drum and a shell portion for the draw-through of the crop plants, the gap being disposed across the direction of travel of the harvester, whereby the shell portion is designed for receiving a comminution device for mincing the plants and comprises a row of slots below the draw-in drum for receiving cutter blades therethrough.
