Abstract
An attachment for connection to a harvester comprises a plurality of picking devices () arranged next to each other and in a distributed manner along the working width. Each picking device () has a picking gap (), below which are disposed at least two picking rotors () which can be driven to rotate in opposite directions, the picking rotors () being provided with flutes (), which project in a radial direction beyond the rotor casing () and the enveloping circles () of which mesh with each other. To propose a way of easily adapting the picking rotors to different harvesting conditions without having to replace them all, the invention proposes for one or more shear bars () which are releasably connected to the picking rotor () and/or to the flutes () to be inserted in the intermediate space () between adjacent flutes () of a picking rotor (), the shear bars filling portions of said intermediate space during a rotating movement of the picking rotors ().
