Abstract
A machine for mowing and chopping corn and similar stalk-like harvested crops includes at least two drawing-in and mowing devices which rotate about vertical axes and which are disposed on either side of the vertical, longitudinal midplane of the machine ahead of a chaff blower and, in each case, form several cutting sites. Push-in rollers, which form an inlet gap for the harvested crops, run in a horizontal plane lying at a distance above the working plane of the drawing-in and mowing device and are disposed ahead of the chaff blower for the purpose of charging it with the cut harvested crops. In the region between the two drawing-in and mowing devices and the pushing-in rollers, which are adjacent to the drawing-in and mowing devices and which define the inlet gap, in each case a sloping conveyor drum, bridges the vertical distance between the working plane of the drawing-in and mowing devices and the inlet gap plane and takes over the harvested crop from the drawing-in and mowing devices and feeds it to the inlet gap.
