ABSTRACT:
An improved row crop header for harvesting crops planted in rows. The improved row crop header has a plurality of row units mounted on a frame such that each row unit has at least one gatherer operating in a gatherer plane that is oblique to a row unit plane that passes through the structure of the row unit. The reduced projected width of the gatherer along the row unit plane reduces the width of a row unit. The adjacent gatherers of two adjacent row units overlap as they operate in offset planes. The overlap permits the row units to be arranged closer together on the frame. The closer arrangement together with the reduced width of the row units allows the row crop header to harvest narrower crop rows than the existing corn heads. A method is also provided that uses the improved row crop header to harvest narrower crop rows than in the past.
