Abstract
A sugar cane harvester has cane cutting apparatus for chopping cane sticks into billets. The apparatus comprises a pair of rotatable cutting elements carrying projecting axially extending blades which co-operate as the cutting elements rotate in timed relationship. The blades each have a bevelled cutting edge and are mounted so as to come into back-to-back relationship i.e. with the bevelled surfaces facing outwards, when the blades overlap. This minimizes servicing requirements and improves the quality of the cut.
