Abstract

A device to adjust the length of billets in a cane harvester. Hydraulic motors of different fluid throughput capacity drive chopper rolls which are mechanically connected. The outlet of one of the motors conveys fluid through a connection to the feed rolls which convey the cane to the chopper rolls. The outlet connection of a second of the hydraulic motors is interchangeable so that the fluid from either motor may pass to the feed rolls as desired.
