A crop gathering apparatus includes a rear platform attachable across a front end of a harvesting machine header, row divider members laterally-spaced and mounted to and projecting forwardly from the rear platform for guiding crop material rearwardly toward the header, and rotatably-driven vertical rotary members laterally-spaced and mounted on the rear platform for conveying crop material across the rear platform to the header. Each row divider member has a forwardly-tapered front crop-engaging structure with rearward and forward sections. Each rearward section is hinged about a transverse axis to the rear platform to allow pivotal adjustment of the angle of the front crop-engaging structure relative to the rear platform. The forward section is hinged about a transverse axis to the rearward section and pivotally movable between extended and folded conditions. Each rotary member has a central rotary shaft extending between and rotatably mounted to the rear platform and an upper transverse support member, and panels circumferentially-spaced about and attached to the shaft and extending outwardly therefrom to engage and convey crop material rearwardly across the rear platform to the header. Support elements are connected between the upper transverse support member and row divider members for retaining the row divider members in a desired angular position relative to the header.
