A stalked crop harvesting header comprising multiple harvesting units each comprising a pair of deck plates defining a channel, a pair of snapping rollers mounted below the deck plates and adapted to pull stalks downwardly through the channel, a pair of gathering chains provided with cams, the gathering chains extending between a first pair of gears located at the front end of the harvesting unit and a second pair of gears located at a back end of the harvesting unit, wherein each harvesting unit further comprises a pair of stalk guiders positioned to rotate around axes coinciding with respective axes of the first pair of gears, wherein the stalk guiders each comprising an upper stalk guiding wheel and a lower stalk guiding wheel which are interconnected, and wherein a cutting element is provided below the lower stalk guiding wheel to cut stalks while being guided by the stalk guiders.
A stalked crop harvesting header comprising multiple harvesting units, wherein each harvesting unit comprises a set of deck plates defining a channel, a set of snapping rollers mounted below the deck plates, a pair of gathering chains, wherein each harvesting unit is provided with a stalk cutting wheel and at least one stalk guiding wheel, wherein the stalk cutting wheel and the at least one stalk guiding wheel are rotatably mounted about a rotation axis and are interconnected via transmission means so that the at least one stalk guiding wheel is provided to be driven at a first rotational speed while the stalk cutting wheel is driven at a second rotational speed which is higher than the first rotational speed.
