ABSTRACT:
A pick-up header for a combine is designed to improve the control of the material from a windrow as it is picked up from the ground and transported to the feeder housing of the combine. Immediately rearwardly of the pick-up fingers is provided an air transportation device including a plurality of openings through which air is forced to carry the material rearwardly toward the feeder housing while allowing the escape of stones. Rearwardly of the air transportation device is a sheet which inclines downwardly toward the curved feeding surface of the feeder housing with the pick-up, air transportation device and guide sheet all pivotally mounted relative to the feeder housing. A feed roller includes a plurality of fingers which rotate with the roller about an eccentric axis so that the fingers project outwardly at the front of the roller to a length extending just to the rear of the pick-up fingers and then retract at the rear of the roller. The roller is of larger diameter than conventional allowing the fingers to project forwardly to a greater extent than conventional.
