Abstract
A corn harvester header attachable to a forage harvester and provided with a plurality of shield units spaced apart to form passage ways to receive corn stalks and including endless flexible means respectively on each side of said passage to positively feed corn stalks along said passage relative to a narrow slot formed by opposed stripping members which accommodate the stalks but prevent the ears from passing therethrough, and a pair of stalk rolls extending longitudinally below said slot at opposite sides thereof and rotated in opposite directions in a manner to pull said stalk, downward through said slot and thereby strip the ears from said stalk. The present invention concerns the shape of elongated flutes which are attached to the stalk rolls for improved engagement of the stalks thereby.
