Abstract: A self-supporting merger for use with a cutting machine for cutting plant material, the merger having a frame, a bed assembly mounted to the frame, a support assembly for supporting the weight of the merger, and a coupling assembly for coupling the frame to the cutting machine. The bed assembly is configured for receiving cut plant material discharged by the cutting machine, and includes a conveyor movable in at least one direction for displacing the cut plant material to at least one side of the merger. The bed assembly may be movably mounted to the frame, and be movable between an engaged position wherein the bed assembly is positioned to receive the cut plant material discharged by the cutting machine, and a bypass position wherein the cut plant material discharged by the cutting machine bypasses the bed assembly. The support assembly including at least one wheel coupled to the frame.
