ABSTRACT:
An improved row crop header, suitable for mounting on a harvesting machine, for harvesting crops planted in rows. The improved row crop header has a plurality of row units mounted on a frame of the row crop header such that each row unit has two gatherers placed in corresponding offsetting planes. The adjacent gatherers of two adjacent row units are in offsetting planes to permit the overlap of the adjacent gatherers. This overlap of the adjacent gatherers permits the row units to be arranged closer together allowing the instant row crop header to harvest narrower crop rows than the existing corn heads. Also provided is an improved method for harvesting narrow crop rows by providing a row crop header configured so that the adjacent row units of the row crop header are arranged closer together than in the existing corn heads.
