Abstract
A multirow forage harvester header for cutting and conveying a row crop from a standing position in the field into a crop receiving throat of the harvester for processing. The header is provided with an improved drive means for actuating a pair of crop cutters respectively disposed adjacent the crop entries of two crop receiving and conveying passageways of the header. The drive means includes a reciprocatable rod connected between one of the cutters and a remotely located input drive and a second reciprocatable rod connected between the two cutters. The two cutters are synchronously driven by the input drive through the first and second reciprocating rods.
