Root crop harvester with multiple gathering discs - has overlapping discs forming upwardly sloping conveying path from ground level

摘要

The root crop harvester uses rotating circular gathering discs and has the axes of all these discs sloping at an acute angle to the vertical. The discs in the front line have their surfaces sloping at an angle between 0 and 20 degrees to the ground. The leading edge of each may be in contact with the ground. The rear edge of each disc rests on the leading edge of the disc behind the leading edge of this intermediate disc also being in contact with the ground. Its rear edge rests on the next disc, which can have its rear edge in contact with a take-off conveyor. These following discs are at an angle between 0 and 20 degrees with the ground.
