Problems solved by technology

As can be seen, Caillouet's device has to be carefully aligned with and follow the plant row and is therefore not well suited for cutting stems or stems in a row independent or bulk manner
[0007] Another complication of known sugarcane harvesters is the way to obtain a suitable cutting height

Embodiment Construction

[0033] Referring to the accompanying drawings below, in figure 1 A row-independent harvesting system 20 of the present invention is shown in , suitable for high volume harvesting of taller stemmed plants, such as sugar cane, milo, etc., while maintaining the integrity of the cut plants for water conservation purposes until further processing , such as strip cutting. Generally, the illustrated harvester 18 is of the self-propelled type and includes a frame 22 supported on wheels or tracks 24 for movement on the ground, the frame 22 including a front end 26 supporting: a forwardly extending plant divider 28 defining and defining a forwardly open front end; a rearwardly extending plant receiving channel 30; and a pair of side-by-side rotating base cutters 32 which 32 are carried on the frame 22 and within the plant receiving channel 30 for rotation about a generally vertical axis of rotation 34 of the base cutters 32, respectively. Each base cutter 32 carries a blade 36 on its ...

Abstract

A row insensitive plant harvesting system for tall stalky plants and canes, to be carried on a mobile frame, includes at least one rotary base cutter carrying knives on a lower end to cut plants from the ground across a swath defined by forwardly disposed plant dividing or separating apparatus. The base cutters and associated aspects of the system then transition the cut plants to a laid down orientation and propel them in a continuous manner while largely maintaining integrity of the stalks or canes for moisture retention, to a conveyor for further processing or handling, typically a billet cutter. The at least one base cutter is pivotally supported to allow adjusting a height of cut while maintaining a desired relationship to the conveyor, to reduce loss of, or damage to, the cut plants.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 764330, filed February 13, 2013. technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to a system for harvesting taller stems or stem plants such as sugar cane in a row-independent, high-productivity manner, and more particularly capable of harvesting multiple plants with varying spacing between rows. Plants in rows and plants not in rows, and conveying or conveying a continuous stream of longer cut stems or stems in a manner that substantially preserves their structural integrity to a device or location for further processing, usually the bar of a harvester cutter or the strip cutter that came with the harvester. As an additional feature, the system can be arranged and operated to allow adjustment of the height of the base cutter for cutting the plants from the ground, optionally independently of the height of the accompanying plant dividing or separating device and / or the height...
