A severing assembly is mounted on the frame for cutting a crop in the crop row from a plant associated with the crop. The crop is lifted into the severing assembly by an arrangement including a duct disposed for directing a gaseous stream beneath the crop and lifting same into communication with the severing assembly for cutting of the crop. The gas is directed under pressure just above the ground so as to put pressure against the crop and thereby bringing the crop into communication with the severing assembly.</p> |
