HARVESTER

The problem addressed by the present invention is that of enabling repeated, secure fixation and encompassing of a crop. This problem is solved according to the invention by means of a harvester (1) having two ends (A, B), wherein the first end (A) faces the crop and the second end (B) faces away from the crop and a longitudinal axis (C) of the harvester (1) extends between the two ends (A, B); proceeding from the second end (B), a main part (2), a guide part (3) and a suction part (4) are arranged along the longitudinal axis (C); a plurality of rods (5) is arranged about the longitudinal axis (C), which rods extend from the main part (2) to the first end (A); the suction part (4) is movable along the longitudinal axis (C); the rods (5) are connected to the main part (2) and are guided by recesses in the guide part (3) or by guide elements on the guide part (3); the rods (5) deform elastically, for example by a rotational movement of the guide part (3) about the longitudinal axis (C) relative to the rotationally immobile main part (2), and, in the region between the guide part (3) and the first end (A), move away from the longitudinal axis (C); wherein, when a crop fixated by means of the suction part (4) is transported in the direction of the guide part (3) and received between the rods (5) in the region between the guide part (3) and the first end (A), such as by a repeated rotational movement of the guide part (3) about the longitudinal axis (C), the elastic deformation of the rods (5) is influenced such that the rods (5) contact the surface of the crop and encompass the crop in preparation for a separation of the crop from a plant.
