Abstract: This invention is for an apparatus and method to remove wood debris after wood and shrubbery clearing has occurred. More specifically, this apparatus uses commercially available grinding rotors as a means to pick up and remove debris remaining after commercial tree and brush clearing efforts by using attachments such as flail hammers attached to a rotatable cylinder which are rotating in a direction opposite to the direction of travel. This action removes the debris and forces it into a basket. The basket may be dumped into a holding area or into a transport truck.

Abstract: A crop header for a harvesting machine includes a frame, a reciprocating support coupled to the frame and a crop conveyor pivotally coupled to the reciprocating support.

Abstract: The row crop header for a harvesting machine includes a frame and a first row unit supported by the frame in a row unit plane. The first row unit includes a first gatherer operating in a first gatherer plane oblique to the row unit plane and a second gatherer operating in a second gatherer plane parallel to the first gatherer plane and oblique to the row unit plane.

Abstract: A row crop harvesting device for mounting on the forward end of a combine, the row crop harvesting unit having closely spaced individual row harvesting units to facilitate retrieval of downed crop and use on closely-spaced crops. The present invention is particularly applicable to corn harvesting units that include a gear housing which is part of and supports the individual row harvesting units, which individual row harvesting units are adjustable transverse to the forward end of the combine to allow adjustment for crop row spacing. The present invention allows closer spacing of the individual row harvesting units by offsetting certain components of the row harvesting units on alternate row harvesting units.
