ABSTRACT:
A guidance system is provided for a cotton picker. The cotton pickers commercially on the market have lifting plates on each of the gathering heads to lift the lower limbs of the cotton plant. To make the wands of the detection of the position of the row operate satisfactorily the limbs are bunched together by bunching plates above the lifting plates. The effective width of the bunching plates is adjustable by an adjustment plate on top of the bunching plate. The wands are straps of metal made from plate rather than rods, as generally used for crop detection purposes. The wands are mounted for pivoting about a shaft which extends from the bunching plate to the lifting plate.
