ABSTRACT:
A tobacco combine comprising a frame operable to be moved along a row of tobacco plants in a tobacco field, a pair of cooperating power driven mechanical tobacco defoliating units mounted on the frame for (1) movement therewith along the row of tobacco plants on opposite sides of a predetermined vertical extent of the stalks of the tobacco plants for removing tobacco leaves attached to the portion of the stalks within the predetermined vertical extent and (2) vertical movements with respect to the frame within (a) an operative range for varying the predetermined vertical extent of the stalks and (b) above the operating range for clearance purposes, a power driven longitudinal conveyor assembly disposed laterally outwardly from each defoliating unit for receiving leaves directed laterally thereby and moving the same rearwardly, a manually adjustable strut assembly for supporting the forward end of each longitudinal conveyor from the frame against a downward movement below a selected position of adjustment but permitting upward movement above the selected position of adjustment, and a lost motion connection operatively connected between the defoliator units and the forward end of each of the longitudinal conveyor assemblies.
