The cutter guard assembly includes a cutter bar assembly, a window frame, and a floor sheet. The cutter bar assembly has a cutter bar and a reciprocating knife assembly operatively connected to a knife drive. The window frame is rigidly attached to the cutter bar. The window frame includes an opening through which a knife arm of the reciprocating knife assembly extends through. The floor sheet extends rearwardly from the cutter bar and pivots relative to the window frame.

Cutter guard assembly for knife drive of an agricultural farm implement

An agricultural harvester having a combine and a header is provided. The combine includes a primary hydraulic system for use in operations of the combine. The primary hydraulic system includes primary hydraulic fluid. The header is attachable to the combine and includes a header hydraulic system having a header hydraulic fluid and a heat exchanger operatively connected to the primary hydraulic system and the header hydraulic system.

A draper belt system is provided that includes first and second draper belt assemblies. The first draper belt assembly includes first and second rollers, and a draper belt looped around the first and second rollers. The first roller defines a first roller diameter, a first central longitudinal axis, and a first plane extending through the first central longitudinal axis. The second draper belt assembly includes third and fourth rollers, and a draper belt looped around the third and fourth rollers. The third roller defines a third roller diameter dimensioned smaller than the first roller diameter, a second central longitudinal axis, and a second plane extending through the second central longitudinal axis. The third roller of the second draper belt assembly is disposed adjacent to the first roller with the first central longitudinal axis extending parallel to the second central longitudinal axis, and the second plane offset from the first plane.

Draper belt system with differently sized rollers

A draper belt system is provided that includes a first draper frame pivotally coupled to a second draper frame at a pivot joint. The pivot joint includes a central longitudinal axis about which rotation at the pivot joint occurs. The draper belt system includes a draper belt assembly including a first roller rotatably coupled to the first draper frame, a second roller rotatably coupled to the second draper frame, and a third roller rotatably coupled between the first and second draper frames. The third roller includes a central longitudinal axis about which the third roller rotates. The central longitudinal axis of the third roller is the same as the central longitudinal axis of the pivot joint.

Draper belt system with frame pivot joint and roller sharing same axis

A cutter guard assembly for a knife drive of an agricultural farm implement is provided. The cutter guard assembly includes a cutter bar assembly, a window frame, and a floor sheet. The cutter bar assembly has a cutter bar and a reciprocating knife assembly operatively connected to a knife drive. The window frame is rigidly attached to the cutter bar. The window frame includes an opening through which a knife arm of the reciprocating knife assembly extends through. The floor sheet extends rearwardly from the cutter bar and pivots relative to the window frame.

An agricultural vehicle that includes a chassis and a header with at least three header frames, including a center section, a first wing section, and a second wing section carried by the chassis. The header includes: at least three knife assemblies; and at least three knife drives, each of the knife drives being drivingly coupled to at least one of the at least three knife assemblies.

Agricultural header with multiple knife drives

An agricultural vehicle includes a chassis and a header carried by the chassis. The header includes: a header frame; a cutter movably coupled to the header frame; a reel arm pivotably coupled to the header frame; a reel carried by the reel arm and including a plurality of tines; a variable displacement fluid cylinder including an interior chamber, a first piston linked to the reel arm placed within the interior chamber and a second piston placed within the interior chamber, the interior chamber defining a shared volume between the first piston and the second piston; and a piston driver linked to the cutter and configured to translate movement of the cutter relative to the header frame into displacement of the second piston within the interior chamber.

Agricultural header with cutter tracking reel

A header frame of an agricultural harvester capable of adjusting the position of attachment of a toolbar to a main frame including a main frame, first and second sides attached to respective lateral ends of the main frame, a toolbar, a brace and an adjustable bracketing assembly. The toolbar extends in a widthwise direction of the main frame. The brace includes a first end attached to the main frame and extends in a direction towards the toolbar. The adjustable bracketing assembly connects the brace to the toolbar and includes a bracket for connecting to the toolbar, and a mount attached to the brace. The bracket is attachable to the mount about a plurality of positions.

Header frame having an adjustably mounted tool bar bracketing assembly

An agricultural harvester having a combine and a header. The combine includes a primary hydraulic system for use in operations of the combine. The primary hydraulic system includes primary hydraulic fluid. The header is attachable to the combine and includes a header hydraulic system having a header hydraulic fluid and a heat exchanger operatively connected to the primary hydraulic system and the header hydraulic system.

A method for repositioning a cutterbar assembly of a header of an agricultural harvester. The header includes a chassis. The cutterbar assembly includes a cutterbar and a supporting arm. The method includes steps of connecting one end of the supporting arm to the chassis, further connecting the supporting arm to the chassis via a down-stop linkage assembly positionable between first and second positions, engaging a lockout tool with the down-stop linkage assembly, applying a torque to the down-stop linkage assembly via the lockout tool, and repositioning the down-stop linkage assembly from either the first position or the second position upon application of the torque. An opposite end of the supporting arm is connected to the cutterbar. In the first position, the cutterbar is positioned distal to a front end of the chassis, and in the second position, the cutterbar is positioned proximal to the front end of the chassis.
