Even the most valiant attempt to take up a downed crop can leave behind a field that looks like a lunatic with a berserk cutting machine has visited.
Significant losses occur because some of the crop simply evades the cutter bar.
Heavy cereal crops and pulse crops share a higher risk of going flat in the field. They make the initial contact with the crop, lifting it up so the cutter bar can do its job. Feeling that these helpful little devices were still lacking something, Rene Page of Legal, Alta., designed a lift finger that's rigid and versatile. He produces three different sizes that fit all cutting machines. Because they're rigid, the lift fingers won't flex and ride up and over the crop.
