Abstract
Herein disclosed is a crop harvesting machine for collecting stalk crops having seed pods near ground level. The harvester includes a relatively large horizontally disposed reel structure. As the reel rotates, bat-assemblies thereon successively sweep downward into the crop and urge the stalks against a cutter bar. These assemblies feature a combination of flexible flaps and pickup reel tines which conserve and prevent loss of crops.
