ABSTRACT:
A sickel guard air system for assisting in moving grain about to be cut over a cutter assembly of a harvester thereby preventing grain waste and shatter. The inventive device includes a guard having a pair of extended members and retainer members, a passageway extending through each of the extended members, a nozzle fluidly connected to the passageway for dispersing pressurized air between the extended member and the retainer member. An air pressure system is fluidly connected to the passageways for providing a continuous flow of pressurized air. The pressurized air assists in the feeding of the crop being harvested and also forces shattered bean pods and beans into the header of the combine. In an alternative embodiment, a pair of nozzles are fluidly connected to the passageway and extend outwardly from the extended member in a V-shaped pattern.
