Abstract: In a combine harvester which conveys the straw which has been separated from grain to the rear outlet by means of a shaker, and wherein grain which is still present is fed to a sieve box, the straw is supplied to cutter means for comminuting purposes, said cutter means being detachably mounted at the rear outlet of the harvester-thresher. A straw accelerating drum with sieve means, which separate any still present residual grain, is mounted upstream of the bladed shaft which is mounted in said cutter means and is provided with blade comb, said shaft and comb being enclosed by a housing.Said sieve means simultaneously form the guide faces for supplying the straw to the straw accelerating drum, each sieve means having a trough portion associated therewith at its lower end for collecting the residual grain. An auger, which is mounted in said trough portion conveys the residual grain to a lateral winnowing grain elevator which re-supplies the residual grain to the sieve box via a chute.

Abstract: A harvester having means for reducing its width for transport has a crop gathering table, and a harvester body portion connected to the gathering table by a vertical pivot. The harvester body portion can be swung about the pivot axis from a longitudinal working position to a transverse transport position to reduce the width of the harvester for transport.

Abstract: A hay baler having two bale chambers arranged end to end in a straight line and a single plunger reciprocating in both chambers. Drive for the plunger may be by cranks and connecting rods on each side of the plunger or by a planetary gear train driving a crankshaft.

Abstract: Combined harvesting and threshing machine which can be mounted as a compact single unit on the front of a self-propelled power unit. Crop is cut by a cutterbar and fed by an auger to a threshing cylinder at one end of a crop gathering table. The threshing cylinder discharges threshed crop onto the input end of straw walkers mounted above the cutterbar.
