Abstract: A mower-conditioner is provided having guide elements that protrude into the crop material flow. The guide elements make it possible to influence the direction of the trajectory of the cut crop material. Each guide element can be mounted on at least one component of the mower-conditioner by way of the least one holder. At least one component contains openings, through which at least one holder can be inserted into and/or fitted in the component.
Abstract: A conditioning device for an agricultural harvesting machine includes a first and a second roller that each are supported with respect to a housing to enable the rollers to rotate about respective longitudinal axes in order to delimit a gap through which crop passes. The housing is formed with a first and a second housing section such that the second housing section moves relative to the first housing section from a closed position in which the housing seals the rollers with respect to the surroundings into a closed position in which the rollers are accessible from outside the housing. The rollers are each supported with respect to the first housing section by way of a shaft extending between the first and the second housing sections.

Abstract: A spring system for a feeder device of an agricultural harvester having a first roller movably mounted in a casing and biased by the spring system towards a second roller in order the compress crop passing between the two rollers. The spring system comprises at least one spring surrounding a guide rod that extends in use between a movable support of the first roller and the casing of the feeder device. The guide rod is formed of two telescopically collapsible parts, one connected to the roller support and the other to the casing.
