PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reap stems/leaves extended from a levee by efficiently guiding them.SOLUTION: A reaping apparatus 101 mounted on the rear of a tractor 501 is provided, being such that: a rotor shaft 112 is included in the reaping apparatus body 101a, extended horizontally with being rectangular to the advancing direction of the tractor 501, and revolved axially by the mechanical power from the tractor 501 and a plurality of reaping blades 103 are also included in the reaping apparatus 101 and extended radially from the rotor shaft 112 in between the side plates 111 set on both ends of the rotor shaft 112. A stems/leaves-guiding instrument 151 attached onto the side plates 111 is also provided, being such that: a stems/leaves-scooping up part 151a is included in the stems/leaves-guiding instrument 151, wherein the tip of the stems/leaves-scooping up part 151a is situated below the outer circumference of the rotary tracks of the reaping blades 103 when viewed sideways of the tractor 501 and in the front side of the advancing direction of the tractor 501, and is inclined so that the portion of the rear side of the advancing direction of the tractor 501 comes above and the guiding rod 160 also included in the stems/leaves-guiding instrument 151 is extended from the stems/leaves-scooping up part 151a, situated in the front side of the advancing direction of the tractor 501 off the side plates 111 and inside of the side plates 111 seen from the front side of the tractor 501, and extended upward.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】畦から延びる茎葉部を効率良く誘導して刈り取る。【解決手段】ロータ軸112は、トラクタ501の後部に装着される刈取装置101の刈取装置本体部101aに設けられ、トラクタ501の進行方向に直交し水平に延び、トラクタ501からの動力により軸回り方向に回転する。刈取刃103は、ロータ軸112の両端部に設けられる側板111の間で、ロータ軸112から放射状に複数延びる。側板111に取り付けられる茎葉誘導器具151に備わる茎葉掬上部151aは、トラクタ501の側面から見た刈取刃103の回転軌跡の外周よりも下方で、トラクタ501の進行方向前方側に先端が位置し、トラクタ501の進行方向後方側の部分が上になるよう傾斜する。誘導杆160は、茎葉掬上部151aから延び、側板111よりもトラクタ501の進行方向前方側かつトラクタ501の前方側から見た側板111よりも内側に位置して上方に延びる。【選択図】図6
