Abstract
A rotor for an agricultural implement such as a self-propelled harvester. The rotor includes a surface and one or more rasp bars which comprise a crop engaging portion that is immobile relative to the surface and a crop engaging portion that is movable relative to the surface, in that a distance between at least part of the movable portion and the surface of the rotor is variable. One of the crop engaging portions is a primary portion configured to engage with crop regardless of whether it is movable or not, while the other is a secondary portion that comprises a crop engaging feature such as a tooth for increasing traction on the crop. The crop engaging feature is activated, by either extending radially outwardly from the primary portion, or deactivated by lying at a same radial position or radially inwardly of the primary portion.
