<p>HARVESTER ATTACHMENT A multi-row corn head has a plurality of forwardly extending dividers that move between adjacent rows of row-planted crops, and each divider includes a hood-like downwardly and forwardly inclined shield structure that tapers to a forward gathering point. A shield extension is removably mounted on each of the inner dividers adjacent to the point where the ears of corn are stripped from the stalks to prevent the loss of ears off the front of the machine. Each extension includes an upwardly extending rear wall that projects above the shield structure and a semi-frustro conical front panel extending forwardly from the rear wall and seating against the top of the shield structure, the forward end of the shield extension being connected to the shield structure by a pair of tabs extending into holes on the top of the shield structure, while the rear end of the extension is locked to the shield structure by spring-loaded latches, which can easily be manipulated to permit the removal of the shield extensions from the shield structures when dictated by the crop conditions.</p> |
