Abstract
A device for use with a rotating cutting knife of a forage harvester to prevent the production of long cobs. The device includes a support member mounted on each cutting knife having a bevelled front face positioned to engage a cob face and support the cob in its longitudinal dimension as a knife cuts the cob along its lateral dimension. The support member is adjustably mounted on the knife between an operative position wherein the bevelled face of the support member is in substantially colinear relationship with the bevelled face of the knife and an inoperative position wherein the bevelled face of the support member is spaced from the bevelled face of the cutting knife.
