  • Patent number: 8225588
    Abstract: An agricultural machine including a carrying vehicle and plural work units configured to cut a standing product. The agricultural machine includes at least two pivotable front work units arranged, during work and viewed in a direction of forward travel of the carrying vehicle, at a front of the carrying vehicle, and at least two lateral work units arranged, during work, on either side of a work area of the front work units. The front work units and the lateral work units can be moved with respect to the carrying vehicle and can pivot in mutually opposite directions with respect to each other, to occupy a transport position or a work position. In the work position, a work area of a first front work unit partially overlaps a work area of a second front work unit. At least one of the front work units is connected to a height adjustable front hitching device of the carrying vehicle.
