  • Patent number: 9485908
    Abstract: An agricultural machine suitable for the harvesting of grain-like crops, comprising a header, the header comprising a first cutting device whose position is determined by the adjustable height of the header, and a second cutting device, comprising a knife drum that is rotatably mounted in a housing, which via rollers or equivalent supports can move over the ground at different heights of the header, and wherein the housing of the knife drum on the back of the header is connected via at least two coupling systems, each of these systems comprising a lower and an upper support arm pivotally connected to the header, and with the housing of the knife drum, whereby the position of the housing remains substantially unaltered by the different height settings of the header.
