ABSTRACT:
A cane harvester for harvesting sugar cane. A cutter severs the cane and feed means feeds the cane along a longitudinal feed path to a chopping means which cuts the cane into billets. A discharge discharges the billets from the harvester. The chopping means comprises longitudinal, movable blades which rotate about an axis perpendicular to the feed path and which sweep out a cylindrical or frusto-conical path. A fixed blade cooperates with the movable blades which move upwardly past the fixed blade. A billet engaging means located between the axis and the movable blade engages and pretensions the cane prior to cutting. After cutting, the cane billets are thrown upwardly and away from the chopping means into the discharge chute.
