Abstract
A machine for harvesting crops having stalks includes a plurality of mowing and intake devices for cutting and conveying the crop through a transverse conveying channel in a direction toward a longitudinal midplane of the machine. On each side of the midplane there is provided a deflection channel, which curves rearward in an arc from a direction extending perpendicular to a forward direction of travel of the machine toward an intake channel arranged along the midplane at a rear side of the machine. A deflection conveying drum is arranged adjacent a rear side of the deflection channel to convey the crop coming from the transverse conveying through the deflection channel. An additional conveying wheel, which moves relative to, and has drivers sweeping through, the deflection channel is formed separate from the mowing and intake devices and is arranged on the same side of the midplane as the deflection conveying drum, but has an axis of rotation forward of a forward side of the deflection channel.
