A harvesting machine including a frame, a plurality of ground engaging wheels, at least one grain separating section, a plurality of cross augers and a grain moving device. The plurality of ground engaging wheels support the frame. The at least one grain separating section is supported by the frame. The plurality of cross augers are positioned to receive grain from the at least one grain separating section. The plurality of cross augers each have an end. The grain moving device is associated with each of the plurality of cross augers proximate to the end of the plurality of cross augers.

A double knife, that can be unitary or consisting of two separate knives, is configured to be mounted on a reciprocating bar of a reciprocating knife. The double knife comprises two cutting sections extending in a forward direction which is perpendicular to the direction of reciprocation. Each of the cutting sections has two lateral faces with serrated cutting edges. The serrations of one cutting section are offset in the forward direction from the serrations of the other cutting section. The two cutting sections can be provided on a single double knife or on separate knives. Preferably, the stroke of the knives is larger than their width, such that a guard finger interacts with two cutting sections and the wear of the guard finger is reduced, since each of the cutting sections interacts with different locations of the guard finger.

Mower knives with staggered serrations

A stalk roll comprises a cylindrical shell having six integral flutes. Each flute is provided with a knife edge having a leading surface and a trailing surface. The leading surface has a forward slope of approximately 10.degree. from the plane formed by the central longitudinal axis of the cylindrical shell and the vertex of the respective knife edge. The trailing surface has a reverse slope of approximately 30.degree. from the plane formed by the central longitudinal axis of the cylindrical shell and the vertex of the respective knife edge. The cylindrical shell comprises two semi-cylindrical pieces that are clamped about a drive shaft of a corn harvesting head by associated bolts.
