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.
Hood divider adjustment apparatus for an agricultural harvester
A row divider of an agricultural harvester is disclosed. The row divider includes a hood, a divider and an adjustment apparatus for adjusting the position of the divider and hood relative to each other. The adjustment apparatus includes a divider support extending from the hood for supporting the divider and an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly is connected to the divider support and extends through the hood to an outer region of the hood such that an operator can access and adjust the position of the divider from a region outside the hood and/or divider without the need for lifting the divider to an up position.

CENTRAL ROW DIVIDER FOR AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER
An agricultural harvester includes a forward frame. The agricultural harvester further includes a first base cutter and a second base cutter supported adjacent to each other in a lateral direction on the forward frame. Moreover, the agricultural harvester includes a central row divider supported on the forward frame, where the central row divider is aligned at least partially between the first and second base cutters along the lateral direction and extends at least partially forward of the first and second base cutters along a fore-aft direction. Additionally, the agricultural harvester includes a central cutter supported at least partially rearward of a forward end of the central row divider and forward of the first and second base cutters along the fore-aft direction, where the central cutter is configured to cut crop guided by the central row divider.

Divider points, harvesting headers configured to receive removable divider points, and related methods
A harvesting header includes a header frame structured to be coupled to a crop-harvesting machine, dividers at each end of the header frame, and at least one harvesting tool carried by the header frame between the first divider and the second divider. Each divider defines a tube therein structured to slidingly receive a divider point, Latches are configured to be partially within the tubes in one position, and entirely outside the tubes in another position, A divider point for a harvesting header includes a longitudinal member having a straight portion with a catch defined therein configured to be received within a tube defined by a divider of the harvesting header and a body extending from the longitudinal member, Methods of transporting and preparing harvesting headers are also disclosed.
