A method for operating a self-propelled harvesting machine with a plurality of working assemblies for processing picked-up crop, includes controlling the working assemblies using a control device assigned to the harvesting machine. At least one working assembly of the working assemblies is controlled by an input mechanism operatively connected to the control device and having a specific first function (F) in the harvesting mode. A second function (F), which deviates from the first function (F) is assigned to the input mechanism by the control device depending on an operating state change. The second function (F) is specific for the working assembly in an operating state that deviates from the harvesting mode.

Method for operating a self-propelled harvesting machine, and self-propelled harvesting machine

A cutting mechanism for harvesters, both for harvesting grain and crop with low located crop positions has a cutter bar; a cutting mechanism trough; a plurality of skids arranged near one another in a traveling direction and connecting the cutter bar with the cutting mechanism trough, the skids being movable between an upper and a lower position in a vertical direction; an arresting device arranged in a front region and fixing the skids in the upper position, the connecting mechanism trough having framed parts; screw connections which mount the skids at their rear ends directly on the frame parts of the cutting mechanism trough; a road device which lifts the skids to the upper position and arrests the skids; the cutting mechanism trough having framed parts; rigid screw connections which mount the skids at their rear ends directly on the frame parts of the cutting mechanism trough; and means for arresting the skids in the upper position and selected from the group consisting of a rope device which lifts and arrests the skids in the upper position, a pivot hook and a cooperating mounting pin which arrests the skids in the upper position, and both.

Cutting mechanism for harvesters

In a self-propelling agricultural machine with a two-part cutting mechanism trough, the position of a cutter bar relative to a stationary part of the cutting mechanism trough is continuously determined, and a predetermined position of the reel is associated with each position of the cutter bar to prevent collision between the cutter bar and the reel.
