Abstract: A harvesting machine such as a self-propelled pick-up chopper including a feeder housing having supplying elements and which can be transferred from a swiveled-in operating position about an axle into a swiveled-up maintenance position. In order to be able to transfer the feeder housing rapidly into the swiveled-up maintenance position, the feeder housing can be swung out of the way forward towards the ground in the driving direction about an essentially horizontal axle aligned transversely to the traveling direction of the machine. The supplying elements of the feeder housing can be driven over a drive shaft having a first portion which can be swiveled in the same direction with the feeder housing and a second portion different than the first portion which can be expanded and contracted telescope-like.

Abstract: A mowing machine connectable to a lifting device arranged at the rear of an agricultural support vehicle has a mowing device with several rotary cutting members guided in a working position laterally on the support vehicle. A support beam has a first end receiving the mowing device and a second end with a three-point hitch with connecting locations connectable to upper and lower rods of the lifting device. A first connecting location is provided on the support beam on a side of the three-point hitch remote from the mowing device. The first connecting location is connected to the three-point hitch such that when the mowing device hits an obstacle while moving in a traveling and working direction, a pivot movement of the mowing device in a direction counter to the traveling and working direction and a lifting movement of the leading area of the mowing device are initiated.

Abstract: Harvesting machine for picking up and chopping corn, wilted grass, green feed and similar harvested material including a feeding device, a chopping device arranged after the feeding device and a conditioning device for conditioning the harvested material arranged after the chopping device. The conditioning device optionally engages a conveying duct. Mounting and dismantling of the conditioning device is simplified because it is connected on one side to a duct pivotable about an essentially horizontal swiveling axis and on the other side rigidly but detachably to a rigid duct. Preferably, the swiveling axis is situated below the pivotable duct such that the swiveling motion of the pivotable duct is directed downward against the traveling direction of the harvesting machine to thereby enable removal of the conditioning device.

Abstract: A self-propelled harvesting machine has an attachment for picking up cut crop or for harvesting stalked crop and a processing device for chopping the crop. A curved spout is arranged downstream of the processing device for picking up the crop at a pick-up location and transferring it to a drop location on a transport vehicle. A control device adjusts an operating speed of the drive motor to idle speed, nominal speed, and a speed range below the nominal speed. The drive motor, when the attachment has a great working width and the distance between pick-up location and drop location of the curved spout has a great length, is operated at nominal speed and, when the attachment has a minimal working width and the distance between pick-up location and drop location of the curved spout has a minimal length, is operated at a reduced speed.

Abstract: An implement combination has a self-propelled support vehicle moveable in a travel and working direction. At least one front-mounted implement is connected to a front end of the self-propelled support vehicle in the travel and working direction. At least one side-mounted implement is connected to a lateral side of the self-propelled support vehicle. A raising device transfers the front-mounted and side-mounted implements from a working and operating position near the ground into a partially raised head land position or into a completely raised transport position. The self-propelled support vehicle has a control and switching device. The front-mounted and side-mounted implements are coupled to the control and switching device such that a command for reverse travel of the control and switching device causes a mandatory raising of the front-mounted and side-mounted implements at least into the partially raised head land position.

Abstract: A harvesting machine for harvesting corn and similar crops on stalks has at least one circulating endless conveyor for engaging a crop, wherein the endless conveyor forms a crop feed area for feeding the crop to an inlet opening of a processing device for further processing the crop. The endless conveyor has a lower cutting plane for the crop with outwardly extending conveying and guiding elements and at least one cutting blade arranged below the conveying and guiding elements. The cutting blade has a stepped configuration and, viewed in a running direction of the conveying and guiding elements, has cutting segments. Each cutting segment has a cutting edge and extends at a slant outwardly relative to a circulating path of the conveying and guiding elements. The cutting blade has cutting segment steps positioned between two neighboring ones of the cutting segments, respectively.

The supply rake 22 is guided in a curved path 39, which can be moved from a conveying position into a supplying position, whereas the conveying rakes 21 are guided in an immovable curved path 34.

Abstract: An attachable apparatus for covering round bales of agricultural harvested goods with a section of a covering inside a molding chamber of a baling press includes a supply roll freely rotatable about a tranversal axis and having an adjustable braking force. The supply roll extends across the width of a housing parallel to the center axis of the press chamber. A pull-off device which initiates the starting phase of the covering process is located adjacent the opening where the goods to be harvested enter or a comparable slit is located in the housing of the press chamber. During the starting phase, the braking effect of the supply roll is considerably reduced or suspended.
