ABSTRACT:
The tobacco harvester is adapted to be mounted adjacent the side of a tractor and includes an inclined chute with a chain conveyor operating in an aperture in the bottom of the chute extending the full length of the chute. The lower end of the inclined chute straddles the tobacco plant and a rotating cutter blade mounted at the lower end of the chute severs the stalk close to the ground. The cut tobacco plant travels top first up the conveyor and at the top end of the chute the top of the stalk passes through an aperture formed by orthogonally disposed stationary bars and into the nip between a pair of rotatable feed rollers, one of which is driven. The feed rollers draw the stalk through the stripper bars to strip the leaves from the stalk so that the stalk and the leaves will fall into separate containers.
