Abstract
A machine for cutting and harvesting of crops having stalks which is pulled by a tractor in a direction of travel. The machine includes a guide casing which has vertical cylindrical wall means. A vertical drum with gripper teeth is rotatably mounted on the guide casing and pulls the stalks of the crops into a pulling passage defined by the cylindrical surface of the drum and the vertical cylindrical wall means. A feed trough merges with the vertical wall means which extend from a 3-o'clock to an 8-o'clock position of the drum. A chaff blower having a pair of feed rollers is mounted at the outlet of the feed trough. The stalks of the crop are seized by the gripper teeth of the drum and transported through the pulling in passage where they are cut by cutting means and then are transported to the feed trough while assuming an increasingly rearwardly inclined position with respect to the direction of travel.
