Abstract
A harvester for harvesting crops, such as rows of corn, includes a corn head having a knife assembly and a gathering belt assembly whose speeds are independently controllable with respect to each other. The independent control permits optimization of the harvester for operation under a wide variety of ground conditions. The harvester also includes a mechanism for adjusting the angular position of the corn head with respect to an associated feeder house.
