A conventional Tractor Mounted Corn Harvester for harvesting closely spaced rows is disclosed comprising four essentially conventional rearwardly facing single row harvester units mounted on a supporting frame-work carried by the three-point hitch of a conventional tractor and facing rearwardly for use in a harvesting operation in which the tractor moves in a reverse direction; right and left collecting conveyors extend along opposite sides of the engine housing from beneath the rear axle forwardly of the engine for receiving corn from the harvester unit, and carrying same to a trailer towed by the tractor. Another aspect of the invention resides in the use of two variable speed hydraulic motors each employed for driving two of the four auger conveyors of the row harvester units with each motor driving a pair of the auger conveyors being hydraulically in series with drive motors of right and left infeed conveyors for delivering harvested corn from the outboard harvester units onto the collecting conveyors. Hydraulic controls enable adjustment of the speed of the various components with respect to each other for achieving optimum efficiency in accordance with crop conditions. Tractor Mounted Corn Harvester latest price is reasonable.
A corn harvester assembly for use on a conventional tractor being driven rearwardly with respect to its normal direction of movement and having steering wheels on one end of an engine housing, a transverse drive wheel axle housing adjacent the other end of said engine housing, a power takeoff shaft and hitch means adjacent said drive wheel axle housing at the rear portion of the tractor during its normal direction of movement, said harvester assembly comprising a supporting frame, connector means on said supporting frame dimensioned and structured for enabling connection of said supporting frame to said hitch means to be supported by said hitch means, a plurality of individual row corn harvester units mounted on said supporting frame and facing rearwardly with respect to the normal direction of operation of said tractor when said supporting frame is mounted on said hitch and power transmission means positioned to be connectable to said power takeoff shaft for providing driving power to said corn row harvester units when said supporting frame is mounted on said hitch whereby said harvester assembly can be employed for harvesting closely spaced corn rows when said tractor is operated in a direction of movement opposite its normal forward direction of movement.
