ABSTRACT:
A row crop attachment adapting a combine for efficient harvesting of soybeans and similar crops, has crop-receiving structure disposed forwardly of the cutter for catching beans prematurely separated from the stalks by action of the combine cutter. Multiple, spaced, crop-receiving divider pans for support on the combine in generally underlying relation to the beans define a number of stalk-receiving throats extending fore-and-aft of the combine ahead of the cutter; respective opposed pairs of crop-catching wings are pivotally mounted on the pans for swinging movement in a generally horizontal plane to and from positions closing the throats. In preferred forms, each pair of wings is yieldably biased toward its throat-closing position to maintain the width of the throats at the minimum dimension required to allow passage of stalks to the cutter, whereby the crop-receiving structure presents a substantially continuous expanse for catching prematurely separated beans.
