Harvesting equipment for stalk plants

摘要

A harvesting apparatus for harvesting corn or other such stalked vegetation includes at least one circulating endless conveyor for gathered plants, which forms an area at an end thereof for delivery of the plants to an inlet opening of a further processing apparatus. The endless conveyor includes conveyor links articulated to one another and at least one cutting plane comprising outwardly pointing cutters and having above it at least one holding plane for holding the cut stalks and including lower, outwardly-pointing holders. The endless conveyor is constructed such that a front side thereof, facing the cutters and holders, is of a substantially closed configuration.
