Looks like a bad Idea to me...that would be a ton of fun to have to dig out.

Might work good in short dry crops

...... But imagine the nightmare in damp flax

Buddy brought up a good point

Take a gander at the year on the patent

Apparently y'all haven't ever seen a corn head for a 55/95/105... They use the same basic principle, and were done with production long before the patent was filed. Just my opinion, perhaps the parts they were trying to patent were the transition points between feederhouse and rotor, to keep IH from getting them?

tall tough oat straw would just love wrapping around those things

Look at the date on the patent, sometime in 1976. Patents expire after 17 years. OLD NEWS!!!
