A combine header for a harvesting machine is provided with a frame and a cutter bar connected to a leading end of the frame. A conveying device connected to the frame conveys stalk material cut by the cutter bar. A drive device drives the cutter bar and the conveying device. First support wheels are connected to the frame at lateral ends of the combine header and support the combine header on the ground. The support wheels arranged underneath the combine header.

A corn head attachment has a sweeper device extending across a working width of the corn head attachment. The sweeper device is attached to the attachment frame by support arms pivotable about a first pivot. The sweeper device position relative to the frame is adjustable by a longitudinal adjusting device parallel to the travel direction and height-adjustable about the first pivots. The adjusting device moves the sweeper device along a curved path in a first direction away from a first position, in which a rotary axle of the sweeper device is at a leading area of a harvesting slot, into a second position above a rearward area of the harvesting slot and also moves the sweeper device in opposite direction. The adjustment of the sweeper device along the curved path is controlled by a forced guiding action to avoid collision of the sweeper device with other corn head attachment components.
