An inclined transfer device is positioned forward of the basket for movement the during gathering of windrowed wholestalk cane for lifting individual wholestalks of cut cane from a resting position upon the cane field ground surface to an elevated discharge position generally above the load carrying surface of the basket, so that cane stalks discharged by the transfer device can fall into the basket. The transfer device includes a moving endless chain positioned at least under the cane wholestalks for carrying the wholestalks between the resting and discharge positions and wherein the transfer device maintains the cane stalks in a generally parallel position with respect to one another during transfer of the cane stalks from the cane field ground surface to the basket.
