Abstract
A grain header has a frame with a cutter bar affixed to the frame. A sub-frame is pivotably coupled to the frame and a mower cutter bar is coupled to the sub-frame. A swather is coupled to the sub-frame and arranged rearward relative to the mower cutter bar. A deflector is disposed between the cutter bar and the mower cutter bar. The deflector is moveable between a raised position in which the deflector permits crop material cut by the mower cutter bar to pass onto the swather, and a lowered position in which the deflector inhibits crop material cut by the mower cutter bar from passing onto the swather.
