Abstract: A grain pan for a combine harvester comprises a plurality of grain pan members with a closed surface grain contacting surface adapted to engage the harvested crop. More than one of the grain pan members are grain pan members comprising a first connection element and a second connection element, the first connection element being adapted to effectuate a detachable connection with the second connection element of another grain pan body member and vice versa. The grain pan members are detachably connected to each other, one behind the other via their respective first and second connection elements, in a direction substantially parallel to the main direction of grain transportation.

Abstract: An agricultural harvester includes a grain processing section having a crop material handling assembly. The crop material handling assembly is driven in fore and aft oscillation by a device while permitting side to side movement. A pivotal link mechanism structurally connected to the crop material handling assembly midway between its side members and to the agricultural harvester chassis drives linear side to side movement of the crop material handling assembly while permitting fore and aft movement thereof.

Abstract: A stone trap assembly including an entrance and an exit. The entrance receives objects from a crop flow path for accumulation into the assembly during a harvesting operation, and the exit allows evacuation of the accumulated foreign objects out of the assembly during an evacuation operation. The assembly further includes a door configured to be rotatable around a first rotation axis, substantially transverse to the crop flow path, for movement along a door movement trajectory between a closed position and an evacuation position, and an impeller for forcing the accumulated foreign objects towards the exit. The impeller is configured to be rotatable around a second rotation axis, substantially transverse to the crop flow path, for movement along an impeller movement trajectory between a retracted position and an extended position closer towards the exit. The door and impeller are separately movable during at least a part of the trajectories.

Abstract: An agricultural harvester including a feeder. The feeder is pivotally mounted to an intermediate frame with respect to a first axis of motion. The intermediate frame is pivotally mounted to a header mounting frame with respect to a second axis of motion. Pivoting around the first axis of motion and the second axis of motion allows a fore-aft movement and a lateral tilt movement. At least one lateral tilt actuator is provided to actuate the header mounting frame in the lateral tilt movement. At least two fore-aft actuators are provided for extending between a first set of mounting positions at the feeder and a second set of mounting positions at the header mounting frame to actuate the header mounting frame in the fore-aft movement.

Abstract: An agricultural harvester includes a harvester body, a header which is adapted for harvesting a crop, a feeder house which is adapted to receive said harvested crop from the header, a header adapter which is arranged between the header and the feeder house, which header adapter is adapted to allow the header to pivot relative to the feeder house about a horizontal pivot axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the header. A first actuator has a first end that is pivotably connected to the feeder house and a second end that is pivotably connected to the header adapter. A second actuator has a first end and a second end, which first end is pivotably connected to the harvester body. A coupling device is pivotably connected to the second end of the second actuator, the feeder house and the header adapter.
