Abstract

A crop divider attachment for a harvester which includes a fixed upright divider extending forwardly from the conventional divider wall at the sides of a transverse frame. A lightweight snout 18 projects forwardly from the fixed divider and has side surfaces which overlap it. The snout 18 is pivotally connected at the forward end of the fixed divider adjacent to the ground surface. It swings beneath a fixed chimney on the stationary divider with minimum physical clearance in which crops might become engaged. Side deflectors shift the disentangled crop toward the center of the header. The snout floats freely, and its downward movement is limited by a flexible length of chain.
