ABSTRACT:
A multi-row crop harvesting attachment for use in combination with a combine consisting of two or more drive sections having a guide edge on each of its two sides, platform sections positioned between each pair of drive sections, each platform section having a guide edge on each of its two sides, each platform section's guide edge in transverse opposition to the adjacent drive section guide edge, and two divider sections positioned outside of each of the outer most drive sections, each divider section having a single guide edge, each divider section's guide edge in transverse opposition to the adjacent drive section guide edge. A longitudinally rearward and narrow flightway for crop stalks is formed by the opposed guide edges. The drive sections further consists of two augers, each positioned over a flightway adjacent to the drive section for guiding crop stalks longitudinally rearward along the flightways.
The harvesting attachment further consists of a locking cam, for mounting the harvesting attachment to a combine, which distributes the harvesting attachment's weight upon the front upper side of a combine's cross auger trough and which is connected to the upper frame of the cross auger trough. A mounting bracket is pivotally connected to the locking cam at a point tending to rotate the cam about its weight distribution point and away from the upper frame of the cross auger trough. The mounting bracket is shaped so that the center of gravity of the remaining portions of the harvesting attachment force the frame to rotate under and contact the under side of a combines's cross auger trough.
