A rotary mower includes a rotary cutting disk, at least one knife, at least one knife pin, and a spring plate. The rotary cutting disk has at least one knife mount location. Each knife has an end with an opening therein. Each knife opening has a double keyhole shape with a larger center hole and two smaller partial holes respectively on generally opposite sides of the center hole. Each knife pin extends through a corresponding knife opening and is mounted to the rotary cutting disk at a corresponding knife mount location. Each knife pin has a distal keeper with a double keyhole shape which generally approximates and is slightly smaller than the double keyhole shaped opening in each knife. A spring plate is positioned under the cutting disk adjacent to each distal keeper of each knife pin.

An agricultural header comprises a first frame, a second frame, an endless side draper belt supported by the first frame, an endless center draper belt positioned in register with the side draper belt to receive cut crop laterally therefrom, an inter-frame flexible seal coupled to the first frame and the second frame. The first frame is coupled for movement relative to the second frame. The flexible seal underlies the side draper belt to receive cut crop that falls from the side draper belt and is arranged relative to the center draper belt to guide fallen crop toward the center draper belt. The flexible seal is configured to flex to accommodate movement of the first frame relative to the second frame.

A harvesting head for a collection machine that harvests material. The head includes conveyor belts to transport material towards the collection machine, and blower heads to help prevent material from falling off the conveyor belts. The conveyor belts can include a feed belt that feeds material towards the collection machine, and a side belt that carries material towards the feed belt. Blower heads can blow across the side belt and towards the center of the feed belt. Blower heads can be located below the side belt. Blower heads can be located near the front of the feed belt and blow towards the collection machine. A feed drum can move material towards the collection machine, and blower heads can blow across the feed drum and towards the feed belt or collection machine. Blower heads can be movable, or have adjustable flow rate, velocity, direction or spread.

Draper heads for a crop harvester are disclosed. An example draper may include an endless belt conveyor and a catch pan disposed adjacent to the endless belt conveyor to collect crop material and defining a uniform gap formed between at least a portion of the catch pan and a portion of an endless belt of the endless belt conveyor located adjacent to the catch pan. A cleat formed on the endless belt cooperates with the catch pan to transport the collected crop material onto the endless belt. The catch pan may include a contoured end that conforms to a shape formed by the endless belt at an end of the endless belt conveyor.

An agricultural header for use with an agricultural harvester is configured to cut crop when the agricultural harvester moves in a direction of travel. The agricultural header comprises a first frame, a side draper belt supported by the first frame and positioned to receive cut crop and advance cut crop laterally relative to the direction of travel, a second frame, a center draper belt supported by the second frame and positioned in register with the side draper belt to receive cut crop laterally therefrom and advance cut crop rearwardly toward the agricultural harvester opposite to the direction of travel, and a joint interconnecting the first frame and the second frame and enabling relative fore-aft and lateral translation between the first frame and the second frame.

A harvesting header for traversing a field to perform a harvesting operation includes a first frame assembly adapted to be coupled to a work machine and a second frame assembly suspended forward of the first frame assembly. The second frame assembly may pivot relative to the first frame assembly. A suspension system is coupled to the second frame assembly and provides a suspension force to the second frame assembly. A controller is operably coupled to the suspension system, and a slope detection system is disposed in electrical communication with the controller for communicating a slope of the field to the controller during the harvesting operation. The controller operably controls the suspension system by adjusting the suspension force based on the slope of the field.

A harvesting assembly for harvesting a crop includes a frame, a cutting knife configured cut crop, a feed drum, a draper assembly, a first auger assembly, and a second auger assembly. The draper assembly and the auger assemblies are configured to move the cut crop toward to the feed drum. The auger assemblies each include a first auger, a second auger, and a mounting unit coupled to the frame and coupled between the first auger and the second auger to support the first auger and the second auger during rotation of the augers.
