Abstract

The elongated cutter bed extending across the front of the harvester has a series of rotary cutting units which rotate about respective upright axes. Upright impeller cages associated with those cutter units located outside of the rear discharge opening of the header help gather cut crop toward the center of the machine for subsequent rearward delivery.
