It's a field chopper marketed by McCormick Deering that had an elevator to transfer the chopped silage into a wagon, rather than using a blower. Cutting head was like a push lawn mower- like on later model Gehl, NH, AC, or #20? McCormick chopper. Probably 50 years old?

I keep hearing about a lawn mower type head, this is new to me, my chopper has a somewhat normal row crop head. I have yet to even see a picture of the mower type head. Correct on the elevator instead of blower.

I probably confused you by referring to the cutting device as a head. I don't mean that the cutter is in the head which gathers the stalks, or a head used to pick up windrows. When the interchangeable heads are removed, the cutterhead is still in the machine, just to the rear of where the gathering or pickup head mounts. Early silage choppers used a 'flywheel' type of cutterhead like on a stationary silo filler. "Lawn mower" cutter head is a smaller diameter, sits crosswise in the machine, usually about a foot and a half wide- AC used one about three feet wide and had a built-in sharpener.

JMS, you are correct on all counts. I was beginning to think that maybe there was a grass head for these. I am very familiar with all of the above mentioned brand choppers and the Ronning does use a somewhat similiar cutterhead.
Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
