Abstract: An auxiliary device for use in conjunction with a grain combine and adapted to lift the milo from a flattened position near the ground upwardly so that it may be processed by the combine wherein the auxiliary device includes a front runner assembly adapted to ride along the surface of the ground in front of the combine and a plurality of rod elements extending upwardly and radially outwardly with respect to each other from the front runner to pass the milo upwardly and into the combine, the auxiliary device being pivotally attached to the front of the combine so that it freely moves vertically to adapt to the surface conditions over which it is moving.
