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.
