Method and apparatus for forage processing

A method and mechanism for harvesting standing crops for a combine such as rows on corn of sunflowers including flattening the stalks and removing the tops, first encountering the stalks with leading separating devices fashioned as ships for separating the crop plants arranged in rows, engaging the stalks with a rotary shaft and with a draw-in drum having dogs on the surface, engaging the plants with a reaper element and then with a deflection shaft all for flattening the plants and removing the tops and conveying the tops laterally inwardly with an auger to pass to a conveying channel to be transported to a harvesting combine.

Cutter unit for combines

A mowing machine adapted to be towed by and in laterally displaced relation to a tractor. The mowing machine has an undercarriage frame and a cross beam to which a plurality of cutting tools are mounted for rotation about vertical axex. Cutter blades are connected to the lower ends of the cutting tools. The cutting machine is connected to the tractor by means of a pivotable tractor hitch and the cutting tools are driven by a drive shaft interconnecting a power take-off shaft of the towing tractor and a gear box on the cross beam. The gear box is pivotally mounted on a middle part of the cross beam and the drive shaft is connected with the gear box by means of a support joint having forked parts pivotally interconnected on a horizontal axis.

Mowing machine

A rotary mower with at least one rotary cutter unit rotated on a vertical axis by means of a drive shaft which has a first bearing hub secured to its lower end. A cutter disc is secured to the first bearing hub and a second bearing hub is coaxially and rotatably mounted on the first bearing hub. A rigid intermediate disc is secured to the second bearing hub so as to be disposed beneath the cutter disc. A skid disc on a third bearing hub is disposed coaxially beneath the intermediate disc in such a way that its central portion can be axially adjusted by means of an adjustment device to change the height of cut. The skid disc is elastically flexible with its outer rim engaging the outer rim of the intermediate disc in all positions of height adjustment.
