Abstract: A forage harvester has multiple working elements for carrying out a crop handling process, a drive system which is divided into a main drive train that includes mechanically driven working elements, and an auxiliary drive train that includes hydraulically driven working elements, a driver assistance system which comprises a memory for storing data and a computing device for processing data stored in the memory, as well as a graphical user interface. The working elements consist of at least one adjustable crop handler, at least one actuator system for adjusting and/or actuating the crop handler, and a control unit for controlling the actuator system. The working element is designed as an automatic adjuster whose mode of operation can be optimized by the driver assistance system. The driver assistance system feeds a throughput-proportional load signal, which can be determined by at least one sensor system, to the particular automatic adjuster.

Abstract: A drive system for a self-propelled harvesting machine includes a drive engine, designed as an internal combustion engine, a transfer gearbox driven by the drive engine that includes a first driven pulley which is disposed on a drive shaft for driving at least one drive pulley of a working mechanism using a first belt, and at least one hydraulic pump for driving a further working mechanism. A second output pulley is assigned to the transfer gearbox and drives the at least one hydraulic pump using a second belt.

Abstract: A drive system embodied as belt drives of a self-propelled combine harvester includes, on one machine side of the combine harvester, a main drive pulley. The main drive pulley is driven by an internal combustion engine. Proceeding from the main drive pulley, a device for separating out residual grain and a straw chopper are driven via a first intermediate drive stage. A functionally reliable drive of the device for separating out residual grain, the straw chopper and powerful front harvesting attachments and a high power density combined with limited installation space is ensured by use of the drive system.
