Abstract: The invention relates to a harvesting apparatus (10), particularly a corn picker, comprising two drawing-in and picking units (18), each of which is provided with a picking gap (24) and a drawing-in device (26) that can be operated so as to draw plants into the picking gap (24) by means of which the infructescences can be separated from the plants. The inventive harvesting apparatus (10) further comprises a stalk chopper (32) that is disposed downstream of the drawing-in device (26), is used for comminuting the plant stalks, and is provided with a knife (36) which can be rotated about a shaft extending at least approximately in a vertical direction. The invention is characterized in that the envelope circle (38) described by the knife (40) of the stalk chopper spans at least the drawing-in devices (26) of two adjacent drawing-in and picking units (18).
