Abstract: An agricultural harvester including a chassis and a header for gathering a crop and feeding it into the agricultural harvester. The agricultural harvester further includes a threshing and separating system, a grain cleaning system for separating grain from MOG, and a feeder housing for moving the crop gathered by the header from the header into the threshing and separating system. The agricultural harvester further includes a header tilt mechanism that allows the header to tilt in order to follow ground contours. The header tilt mechanism may use a face plate movably attached to the feeder housing. The header tilt mechanism includes at least one straight line linkage movably connecting the header to the feeder housing. The feeder housing or header tilt mechanism may be provided with hydraulic cylinders or pressure controlling or limiting arrangements.
