A row crop header for cutting row crops beneath the ground surface thereby incre asing the percentage of brittle and bent over row crop harvested. The inventive device includes a pair of frames defining a slot therebetween, a hydraulic motor, a pair of corrugated belts, a pair of cutting discs overlapping one another, the cutting discs include a plurality of arcuate notches, a pair of capturing discs having a plurality of resilient tines and a pair of hubs . The arcuate notches in the cutting discs prevent debris such as rocks from becoming lodged in betwee n the cutting discs while allowing the cutting discs to cut thick stalks of the row crop. The hubs rotate near a front portion of the respective pair of frames thereby elevating the pair of fra mes at the desired elevation for maintaining the desired penetration into the ground of the cutting discs.
