An agricultural harvester including a header and a cab for an operator of the harvester. The header includes a frame, a reel assembly having a first reel, and a second reel spaced from the first reel a fixed distance. The header further includes a reel support structure supporting the first and second reels for movement between first and second positions, and a crop divider connected to the reel assembly, wherein the crop divider substantially spans a width of the fixed distance.

An agricultural harvester includes a header and a cab for an operator of the harvester. The header includes a frame, a support arm connected to the frame and a harvesting reel assembly. The harvesting reel assembly includes a central rotatable shaft connected to the support arm, a reel member extending widthwise across the harvesting reel assembly and connected to the central rotatable shaft for rotation therewith, and a first cam assembly rotatable about a first end of the central rotatable shaft. The first cam assembly includes a first cam plate, a first non-circular cam track for guiding rotation of the reel member and a first adjustor. The first adjustor is operatively engaged with the first cam plate and pivotably connected to the support arm for adjusting a rotational position of the first cam assembly relative to the central rotatable shaft.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for altering a shape of a reel are disclosed. In some implementations, an example agricultural header may include a reel section coupled to a wing of an agricultural header. The reel section may include one or more bat tube supports at one or more locations along a length of the reel section, one or more bat tubes coupled the bat tube supports, and one or more linkages. A linkage is operably coupled to one of the bat tubes. A shape of the bat tube at one or more locations therealong is altered by actuation of the linkage in response to movement of the reel section.

A split reel assembly for a header of a combine harvester is provided. The split reel has two reel assemblies driven by a central support assembly. A pivotable reel finger assembly is incorporated into a medial end of each reel assembly to deflect crop material away from the central support assembly.

A crop harvesting header having a frame mounted on a propulsion vehicle has a cutter bar carrying a sickle knife and a draper transport. The draper is guided at its front edge by a longitudinally extending rail mounted on the frame for movement therewith. The cutter bar is mounted on the frame at spaced positions by spring blades attached to a fixed beam at the rear which allow up and down flexing movement of the cutter bar relative to the draper engagement member. At the center discharge the cutter bar is carried on shorter blades which are carried on a beam in front of the front draper roller. The small amount of flexing of the cutter bar combines with a balanced three piece header frame to provide effective ground following.
