The present invention relates to a device (2) for harvesting stalk-like stem crops, having a number of picking units (10) which are arranged alongside one another on the frame of the device (2) and each have at least one picking rotor (12), picking plates laterally delimiting a picking gap, and conveying units which are assigned thereto and are configured as continuous conveyors (14) that are driven in circulation, a series gearbox (26) that drives the members of each picking unit (4), longitudinal beams (22), in arranged between the picking gaps, for supporting members of the picking units (10), a transverse beam (8) to which the picking units (10) are fastened, and a transverse conveying device (24) arranged downstream of the conveying units. In order to design the known devices such that they can be operated with a shallower setting angle of the picking units without pushing residual harvested material into heaps with their undersides, it is proposed that the picking units (10) be connected to the transverse beam (8) at their rear sides via the series gearbox (26) and/or via a longitudinal beam (22) and that the transverse beam (8) be arranged in a horizontal plane in which the series gearbox (26) of the picking units (10) is also arranged
A device (2) for harvesting stalk-like stem crops, the device comprising a number of picking units (10), which are arranged side by side on the frame of the device (2) and each have at least one picking rotor (12), picking plates that laterally delimit a picking gap, and conveying units that are assigned to said plates and are configured as continuous conveyors (14) that are driven in circulation, said device also having a series gearbox (26) for each picking unit (4) for driving the elements thereof, longitudinal beams (22) arranged between the picking gaps for supporting elements of the picking units (10), a transverse beam (8) to which the picking units (10) are attached, and a transverse conveying device (24) located downstream of the conveying units, characterized in that the picking units (10) are connected to the transverse beam (8) at their rear sides via the series gearbox (26) and/or via a longitudinal beam (22) and the transverse beam (8) is located in the same horizontal plane in which the series gearboxes (26) of the picking units (10) are located.
