A corn header (12) for an agricultural harvester (10) is disclosed. The header (12) includes a chassis (14) having first and second lateral ends (126,128) and a plurality of row units defining crop receiving gaps. The header (12) further includes a power takeoff member (172a,172b) having a first end operatively connected to the agricultural harvester (10). A plurality of chopping units is carried by the chassis (14) adjacent the row units, each chopping unit including a rotating blade configured to span a crop receiving gap of the row unit. A drive assembly (165) including a gearbox (174a,174b), driveshaft (176a,176b) and secondary gearbox (178a,178b) is operably connected to the second end of the power takeoff member (172a,172b). The drive shaft (176a,176b) extends from the gearbox (174a,174b) to the secondary gearbox (178a,178b) disposed between the first and second lateral ends (126,128) of the chassis (14). The drive shaft (176a,176b) is operably connected to a rotating line shaft (156,160) of the row units or the chopping units via the secondary gearbox (178a,178b). |
