Abstract
An improved Corn Ear Cutter reduces kernel damage through the use of a cushion in the form of a strip of cushioning material, preferably urethane having a hardness in the range from about 50 to 60 Shore A, which is removably installed on the stripper plates by channels which are mounted on the plates and receive the strips by sliding them into the channel. The strips support the ears of corn at the moment they are cut from the stalk and then propelled along the gap by lugs extending from gathering belts.
