Abstract
An improved harvester pickup reel tine and bat structure results in light weight, ease of assembly and non-snagging operation. A one-piece tine and attachment is formed by molding a plastic tine integral with a split ring to clamp it onto the support tube. A single split in the ring and the integral construction permits an assembly with no protrusions on the rear surface of the reel which otherwise catches on accumulated material in the harvester. An alternate embodiment includes extension wings which interlock with adjacent structures to form a continuous bat thus affording the reel assembly which is convertible between a structure with or without bats.
