Abstract: The harvesting device for harvesting corn or other grains is embodied as an attachment for a combine and provided with a draw-in device (3) and one picking gap for separating the cobs from the plants (stalks). Furthermore, the harvesting device has one driven picking roller (4) with beater plates per row, as well as a cheek-like guide plate associated with this picking roller (4) and partially enshrouding it, or alternatively, a bracing support extending paraxially to the picking roller and embodied as a driven counter-roller (5). A connection piece (20) acting as a separating and comminuting cutter and stabilizing the distance between the picking roller (4) and the bracing support (5) is disposed in the plant intake (PE) between the picking roller (4) and bracing support (5).

Abstract: A harvesting implement for harvesting of corn and other grain products, to be arranged in front of a harvester thresher, comprises a driven drawing roller having a substantially cylindrical main body and a plurality of impact plates provided with cutouts, a cutting block provided with cutting elements extending through the cutouts, and a counter holder associated with the drawing roller. The counter holder is formed as a driven counter roller which is axes parallel to the picking roller, the counter roller includes a main body with a plurality of segments spaced from one another, the drawing roller and the counter roller are both associated with the one common cutting block, the cutting elements of the cutting block include a plurality of cutters which extend simultaneously in the intermediate spaces between the segments of the counter roller and in the cutouts of the impact plates of the drawing roller.

Abstract: An agricultural implement for harvesting corn or other grain fruits to be used especially as a front implement as a harvester thresher comprises a drawing unit, a unit forming a picking gap for separating cobs from a fruit, a picking roller surrounded by a partial casing and having a cylindrical base body with a plurality of impact plates provided with cutouts, a cutting unit provided with a plurality of cutting members extending through the cutouts, the cutting unit having an end which is opposite to the cutting members, a joint traverse supporting the cutting unit at the end independently of the partial casing the turnable about an axis extending parallel to an axis of the picking roller, the traverse together with the cutting unit being turnable against a spring force about an axis which extends parallel of the axis of the base body and being arrestable upon turning.

Abstract: A positional regulation of a mowing mechanism is effected in terms of height as a function of a ground pressure signal (SB) and in terms of swiveling in the transverse direction as a function of lateral ground clearance signals (SL, SR), the adjusting signals being carried to hydraulic valves (VT, VH; VL, VR).The goal is to increase the accuracy and freedom from fluctuation in the course of the mowing mechanism cutting height.The ground clearance signals (SL, SR) are used in proportion with the ground pressure signal (SB) for vertical position regulation. A linkage of these signals (SL, SR, SB) with further transducer signals and a method for automatic adaptation of the regulating characteristic by varying the hystereses and idle times of the regulators (V1, V1) is disclosed.The regulating apparatus is used in harvesting and threshing combines when low-height crops are to be mowed and when the ground is bumpy and soft.

Abstract: A self-propelling harvester thresher comprises a conveyor, a two-part cutting mechanism having two cutting mechanism halves which are turnable substantially in a horizontal plane between a working position and a transporting position, elements allowing the turning of the cutting mechanism halves and including two turnable supports and a joint vertically extending hinge axle. The cutting mechanism halves are each connected through a respective one of the turnable supports with the inclined conveyor and also are connected with one another by the hinge axle.

Abstract: A liftable and lowerable product receiving arrangement for agricultural machines, especially for self-propelling harvester threshers, comprises a cutting mechanism platform having a front end, a flexible cutting bar mounted on the front end of the cutting mechanism platform, sliding skids arranged to support the cutting bar in a height-displaceable manner relative to the cutting mechanism platform, and supporting skids associated with the cutting mechanism platform and arranged behind the flexible cutting bar as considered in a transporting direction and at least in its both lateral end regions, the supporting skids have lower limits extending at most at a height of one of the cutter bar and the sliding skids.

Abstract: A self-propelling agricultural machine, especially a self-propelling harvester thresher comprises a machine part having a front side, a working implement mounted on the front side of the machine part and turnable in a direction which is transverse to a travelling direction, and a unit for mounting the working implement on the machine part and including two cylinder-piston units having pistons with piston rods which are connected with the working implement and also having cylinders which are connected with the machine part, the connecting unit also having a switching valve, the cylinders of the cylinder-piston units having piston-side chambers which are connected with one another and piston rod-side chambers which are individually connected to the switching valve.

Abstract: A harvesting arrangement for harvesting corn and other grain fruits and formed as a front implement of a harvester thresher, the harvesting arrangement comprises drawing devices for drawing harvested product from the field, a picking gap for separating ears from stalks, a picking roller which is only one for each stalk row, the picking roller including a substantially cylindrical base body with a casing provided with a plurality of impact plates having cut outs, a cutting device including a plurality of individual cutters each having a free-running end which faces toward the base body and an opposite end which faces away from the base body, the casing of the base body having a plurality of recesses in which the free running ends of the cutters are introduced, and holding elements arranged to support the opposite ends of the cutters adjustably relative to the base body.

Abstract: A self-propelling agricultural machine, particularly a harvester thresher, comprises a machine unit provided with supporting elements, a front working implement turnable transversely to a traveling direction and having upper receiving elements for the supporting elements, and lower locking elements, and cylinder-piston units each having a cylinder and a piston with a piston rod having a free end, the supporting elements being mounted on the free ends of the piston rods of the cylinder-piston units, while the cylinders being connected with the machine unit.

Abstract: A drawing roller of a cutting trough of an agricultural machine, particularly a harvester thresher, has a drawing roller body rotatably mounted in a cutting trough, oppositely operating screw plates arranged at outer ends of the roller body, a plurality of controlled drawing fingers arranged on the roller body in a central region thereof, and at least one rigid driving member arranged on the roller body in the central region in addition to the controlled driving fingers.
