ABSTRACT:
A gathering conveyor for a row unit of an agricultural harvesting machine, including an elongate flexible conveyor element configured for encircling spaced apart first and second rotatable elements, for rotation thereabout so as to move along a stalkway of a row unit adapted for receiving a stalk of a plant to be harvested by the row unit, the conveyor element including gathering elements for conveying harvested crops along the stalkway, including elements that project into the stalkway and elements that project in the opposite direction, each of the gathering elements having a stepped profile shape when viewed from a longitudinal direction wherein either the upper or lower terminal end portions thereof are shorter, so that the gathering elements of conveyors of adjacent row units having oppositely shortened end portions can overlap, to enable positioning of the row units in closer proximity.
