  • Crop lifter for swathers or combines
    Patent number: 5005346
    Abstract: Conventionally, such lifters are relatively long and cause problems with control of the header and proper lifting of the crops without shattering or shelling occurring. The present lifter is relatively short and is bolted to the header using one the bolts attaching the knife guard to the header. The head is floating so that the lifter rides just on the surface and just in front of the guard so that it picks up the crop and lifts them over the knife assembly and onto the header.
