A foldable corn head (10) having separable matable auger sections (44, 48, 50) which are cantilever suspended from the ends thereof to provide an obstruction-free path for harvested ears of corn being transported by the auger. Outer sections of the corn head are foldable vertically about horizontal hinges to reduce the width of the head for over-the-road travel. Stub auger sections are cantilever mounted from end plates in the pivotable outer corn head sections, at least one of the stub sections being driven by an actuator, such as a hydraulic motor means (66). The stub sections are provided with coupling elements (75, 76) at their inner ends which are matable with coupling elements in the ends of the main auger section. A latch (48) secures a pivotable portion (34) of the foldable corn head (10) to a fixed portion (32) thereof, the latch being actuated to close or open by the folding action of the corn head portions. |
