  • Multifunction latch for a combine
    Patent number: 6735929
    Abstract: A mechanism for attaching a harvesting assembly to a combine having a multicoupler which connects hydraulic lines on the combine with hydraulic lines on the harvesting assembly as two halves of the multicoupler are brought together, and a latching mechanism which mechanically couples the harvesting assembly to the combine, the latching mechanism being operatively connected with the multicoupler to shift between latched and unlatched modes as the multicoupler is shifted between connected and unconnected modes.

  • Feeder house
    Patent number: 6318058
    Abstract: The invention concerns a feeder house (38) with a first conveyor (66) for the transport of harvested crop, a second conveyor arranged downstream of the first conveyor and a mounting arrangement (54) for the mounting of a header (74) to the feeder house. In order to attain an optimum transition of the harvested crop from the header (74) to the first conveyor (66), the mounting arrangement (54) is supported in bearings, free to pivot, relative to the feeder house (38) about an axis that is generally coaxial with the axis (64) of the first conveyor (66).

  • Crop divider mounting arrangement for a harvester
    Patent number: 4700537
    Abstract: A crop divider of the cutting platform of a self-propelled combine harvester is loosely supported for floating and rocking movement in a vertical fore-and-aft plane, by a rearwardly extending frame member or spine of the divider being inserted into and extending through a pair of vertically slotted brackets, spaced fore-and-aft. The pivot point for the divider is thus undefined and may move back and forth between the front and rear brackets according to the operating height of the cutting platform.
