CROP LIFTER MECHANISM

摘要

A crop lifter for the header assembly (20) of an agricultural combine (10). The crop lifter includes a lifter arm (51) in the form of a longitudinally elongated panel (52) which has a lifting tip (57) at its leading end. The panel (52) is vertically oriented and has a crop lifting surface (53) extending along its upper edge. Extending laterally of the panel (52) are a pair of flexible crop lifting wings (71L, 71R) which expand the effective lifting area of the crop lifter. The crop lifting surface (53) has an initially steep incline followed by a shallower incline.
