Abstract: A suspension system is provided for use with a crop harvesting header including a frame carrying a structure movable about an endless path to deliver a crop to the header. The frame has opposed ends and is pivotably connected to the header, each end of the frame being independently movable between a first angle between the frame and the header and a second angle between the frame and the header. A first suspension member and a second suspension member are each connected between the frame and the header to provide a substantially constant force to the frame between the first and second angles.

Abstract: An agricultural harvester is provided that Includes a frame carrying a structure movable about an endless path to deliver a crop to a header. The frame includes a guide assembly including a guide member supported by the frame. The frame also includes at least one tine secured to the guide member without extending through the guide member, and the at least one tine extending from the guide member above the structure to guide the crop between the at least one tine and the structure to the header. The at least one tine is installable and removable from the guide member without disconnecting the guide member from the frame. At least one tine is installable and removable from the guide member substantially without tools.

Abstract: A crop gathering device is provided for use with a harvesting header including a frame carrying a belt to deliver a crop to the header, the frame having opposed ends and connected to the header. The frame includes a first support member and a second support member each extending unsupported between the opposed ends of the frame. A driven roller assembly has at least two axially aligned rollers extending between the opposed ends of the frame, regions of the rollers of the driven roller assembly being rotatably secured to the first support member. An idler roller assembly has at least two axially aligned rollers extending between the opposed ends of the frame, regions of the rollers of the idler roller assembly being rotatably secured to the second support member. The roller assemblies move the belt for delivering a crop to the header.
