<p>A row insensitive plant harvesting system for tall stalky plants and canes, to be carried on a mobile frame, includes at least one rotary base cutter carrying knives on a lower end to cut plants from the ground across a swath defined by forwardly disposed plant dividing or separating apparatus. The base cutters and associated aspects of the system then transition the cut plants to a laid down orientation and propel them in a continuous manner while largely maintaining integrity of the stalks or canes for moisture retention, to a conveyor for further processing or handling, typically a billet cutter. The at least one base cutter is pivotally supported to allow adjusting a height of cut while maintaining a desired relationship to the conveyor, to reduce loss of, or damage to, the cut plants.</p> |
