Abstract
A reel for a crop harvesting device includes tine carriers extending across the width of the reel carrying tines for conveying crop, and links for supporting the tine carriers. The links are mounted by link carriers to the tine carriers. The tine carriers are composed of short tube elements, each extending between the links and connected to each other by mounting elements. The mounting elements make up cylindrical support surfaces for the link carrier and secure the link carrier against axial movement along the tine carrier. The links are the only connection between adjacent tine carriers.
