A roof of a vehicle, such as an agricultural vehicle, may include a first roof panel and a second roof panel. The first roof panel and the second roof panel may be connected along an interface the defines a passageway. The first roof panel and the second roof panel may define a path extending generally longitudinally along the roof with the first roof panel and the second roof panel sloping away from the path toward a first lateral side of the roof and a second lateral side of the roof. The passageway may extend laterally from the first lateral side to the second lateral side.

A floor mat assembly for use on a floor comprises a floor mat, a first adhesive layer, a heating element, a second adhesive layer, and an insulative foam support layer. The floor mat comprises a topside for interaction with a person. The heating element is bonded to an underside of the floor mat with the first adhesive layer to heat the floor mat. The foam support layer is bonded to an underside of the heating element with the second adhesive layer.

A cutter assembly includes a knife guard holder to be removably connected to a cutter bar, a knife guard and an interface between the knife guard holder and the knife guard. The knife guard may have a knife channel to slidably guide a cutter knife. The interface extends between the knife guard holder and the knife guard to locate and releasably retain the knife guard with respect to the knife guard holder.

A draper platform includes a drive roller and an idler roller spaced from the drive roller. A belt is operatively coupled to each of the drive roller and the idler roller. The draper platform also includes a belt tensioning system, including a tension adjustment rod. A worm gear is operatively coupled to the tension adjustment rod. A sector gear is in meshed engagement with the worm gear. A push rod is operatively coupled to each of the sector gear and the idler roller such that rotation of the sector gear causes translation of the idler roller so as to adjust tension of the belt.

A sickle bar drive mount may include an arm and a sickle bar drive eye. The arm is mountable to a horizontally extending sickle bar. The sickle bar drive eye is to receive a sickle bar drive bearing of a sickle bar drive. The arm may extend along a first horizontal axis parallel to the sickle bar. The sickle bar drive eye is pivotally coupled to the arm for pivotal movement about a second horizontal axis perpendicular to the first axis.

A reel () for an agricultural harvesting head () has thrust bearings at the ends of its bat supports () that counteract sagging of the reel under the force of gravity.

Reel for a harvesting head

An agricultural harvesting head comprises a frame, crop dividers located at each end of the frame, and a reel supported on the frame between the crop dividers wherein a disk at at least one end of the reel has a wiper mounted upon it that wipes against the surface of a crop divider as the reel and disc rotate during harvesting, and in this manner helps clear the crop divider of crop plants that might otherwise become hair pinned on the crop divider. Wipers can be provided on discs at both ends of the reel to thereby keep both crop dividers clear.
