  • Flexible row crop header for an agricultural harvester
    Patent number: 10993371
    Abstract: A row crop header for a harvester having a subframe removably coupleable to a feeder housing of the harvester. A pivot assembly is supported by the subframe permitting first and second header sections to pivotably move between raised and lowered positions together or independently of the other. A cross-auger center suspension assembly rotateably supports one end of the first cross-auger section and one end of the second cross-auger section as the first and second header sections pivotally move between the raised and lowered positions.
    Type: Grant

  • Flexible row-crop header apparatus and method
    Patent number: 8919086
    Abstract: The flexible header has a subframe removably coupleable to a feeder housing of the harvester. A pivot assembly is supported by the subframe permitting first and second header sections to pivotably move between raised and lowered positions together or independently of the other by actuating a hydraulic actuator coupled to the first and second header sections to selectively position the header sections when the ground elevation changes as the combine advances through the field while harvesting.
