A crop stripper has a rotor (102) provided with metal stripping teeth (4). The teeth each have an outwardly tapering outer portion (8) extending from a radially inner root portion (10) of arcuate form which provides a root opening (12) between adjacent teeth wider than the spacing between the teeth at the junctions of the inner and outer portions. Along each outer portion the edges of the teeth have flanging (14) which terminates short of the inner portions. The flanging extends over not substantially more than 70%, preferably not more than 60%, of the length of the teeth. The stripping teeth are supported by shorter and thicker backing teeth (20) placed behind the stripping teeth (4) in the direction of rotation of the rotor. <IMAGE> |
