Shell corn loss inhibiting device
A shell corn loss inhibiting device includes a corn head of a combine including a pair of spaced dividers, a gap therebetween, and a collection auger. Each of a pair of nozzles is coupled to an associated one of the spaced dividers and angled inwardly towards the gap, downwardly through the gap, and rearwardly towards the collection auger. A blower is coupled to the combine urging a flow of air out through each of the nozzles to urge the shell corn towards the collection auger before the shell corn can pass downwardly through the gap.
SHELL CORN LOSS INHIBITING DEVICE
A shell corn loss inhibiting device enhances shell corn collection efficiency by catching and re-circulating fallen corn back towards a collecting auger of a combine. The device includes a corn head of a combine including a pair of spaced dividers, a gap therebetween, and a collection auger. Each of a pair of nozzles is coupled to an associated one of the spaced dividers and angled inwardly towards the gap, downwardly through the gap, and rearwardly towards the collection auger. A blower is coupled to the combine urging a flow of air out through each of the nozzles to urge the shell corn towards the collection auger before the shell corn can pass downwardly through the gap.
KNIFE ROLLS WITH DIFFERING LENGTHS
Stalk rolls are used for a corn harvester or combine having a chassis, an engine, a cab mounted to the chassis with a head mounted at the front of the body. The head includes an auger, row separators, corn stalk gathering assemblies between the row separators and ear removal assemblies. Each ear removal device includes a pair of stalk rolls. Each stalk roll has a core and longitudinally extending flutes about a periphery of the corn extending along the core. Each stalk roll has a straight first section and a tapered second section. The flutes on each stalk roll have different lengths and end at different locations at the front of the stalk roll. The flutes of the stalk roll may also have notches and different shaped leading edges.
Header end hood mount for an agricultural harvester
A header end hood mount for a harvester configured to allow an end hood on a corn header to pivot about a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly is connected to the frame for mounting the hood thereon and includes a mounting bracket affixed to the frame to allow the hood to pivot between a first position covering the row unit and a second position spaced outwardly and upwardly from the first position to provide improved access to a row unit covered by an end hood during normal operation. The header end hood mount is designed to provide a pivoting motion of the hood.

Agricultual harvesting head with wiper for crop divider
An agricultural harvesting head comprises a frame, crop dividers located at each end of the frame, and a reel supported on the frame between the crop dividers wherein a disk at at least one end of the reel has a wiper mounted upon it that wipes against the surface of a crop divider as the reel and disc rotate during harvesting, and in this manner helps clear the crop divider of crop plants that might otherwise become hair pinned on the crop divider. Wipers can be provided on discs at both ends of the reel to thereby keep both crop dividers clear.
Articulated lateral crop divider for a flexible harvesting header
A harvesting platform is carried on the front end of an agricultural combine. The harvesting platform includes lateral crop dividers for agricultural harvesting headers with a flexible cutterbar.

MODULAR CROP DIVIDER AND BASE CUTTER ARRANGEMENT FOR SUGARCANE HARVESTERS
A sugarcane harvester may include a chassis with various discreet and laterally separated mounting locations. Crop divider support modules may be configured to separately and fixedly attach to the chassis at various of the mounting locations, in order to support respective crop dividers in a variety of discreet and laterally separated orientations.
