A combine harvester includes a separating device that extends in a longitudinal direction of the combine harvester. In front of the separating device, a tangentially disposed feed drum is installed. The feed drum is configured with substantially axially parallel guide plates on a circumference thereof. The substantially axially parallel guide plates bear against the jacket surface of the feed drum via support elements. The support elements extend between adjacent guide plates in the circumferential direction and, extend between the adjacent guide plates in the radial direction across an entire free jacket surface of the feed drum.

Combine harvester with transverse feed drum

In a method and device for spreading a material flow onto a field, the material flow emerging from a chopping mechanism of a chopping and spreading device, in particular a combine mounted straw chopper on a combine harvester, is conveyed to at least one guide element which is situated transversely to the longitudinal axis of the chopping mechanism, the guide element accelerates the material flow and conveys it to at least one downstream spreading unit, the material flow emerging from the at least one guide element is conveyed by a plane of conveyance, in which the material flow enters the at least one guide element, onto a spreading plane situated below the plane of conveyance; in the spreading plane, and the material flow is distributed by the at least one spreading unit onto the field.

Method for distributing a material flow onto a field, and chopping and spreading device

For operating a self propelling harvester provided with a cutterbar and a chopping and distributing device located in a discharge region and supplying a crop stream to at least one ejecting blower, a discharge direction of the crop stream from the ejecting blower is adjusted by a breaking edge which is longitudinally displaceable by a drive, wherein the drive for adjusting the at least one breaking edge is regulated depending on the working width of the cutterbar and/or depending on the distribution of the crop stream on the ground, to adapt the scattering width automatically to the working width of the cutterbar and to distribute in a uniform layer density on the ground.

Method of operating a self-propelling apparatus

A self-propelled combine harvester has a threshing mechanism composed of at least one aggregate selected from the group consisting of a threshing part, a working unit, and both, at least one stripping unit which is assigned to the at least one aggregate, and at least one rotary chamber configured on the at least one stripping unit on a circumference of the at least one aggregate.

Chopping and distributing device

A stalk and chaff distribution arrangement in an agricultural harvesting machine having a chopping device arranged in a discharge region of the machine includes first and second blowers arranged adjacent to each other in the discharge region and each blower having a rotary shaft, a crop inlet opening, and a crop outlet opening; a crop dividing plate associated with the first and second blowers, the crop dividing plate having an apex and first and second diverging arms, said apex arranged in the direction opposite a crop flow from the chopping device to the blowers; and a first adjustable partial casing moveably associated the first blower and adjoining the first diverging arm, said first adjustable partial casing arranged circumferentially with the first blower; whereby a direction of the crop flow from the crop outlet of the first blower is changed when the first adjustable partial casing is moved.

Stalk and chaff distribution arrangement

An agricultural harvesting machine has straw walkers or the like, an air sieve device, a straw chopping device, and a variable straw and chaff distribution arrangement. The arrangement includes an articulated lever combination; a servo element associated with the articulated lever combination; preferably two rotary distribution blowers each having a material inlet opening and a rotor circumference and being connected to the articulated lever combination. The rotary blower is movable between two different plane-parallel positions by the articulated lever combination and servo element. A guide is provided for supplying chaff radially to the distribution blower.

Variable straw and chaff distribution arrangement

A combine harvester having a blower for spreading the discharge mixture of chopped straw, chaff and like materials over a wide area utilizing the kinetic energy obtained through the medium of a chopper or feed device located prior to the blowers to save on drive power. Specifically, the material outlet opening of the chopper or the feed device is positioned in the same plane as the inlet opening of the blower.

Combine having a feeding device for transferring and an outlet zone for discharging materials

In a combine incorporating blowers ( ) for spreading the discharge mixture of chopped straw and chaff over a wide area, the kinetic energy obtained through the medium of a chopper or feed device located prior to the blowers is retained so as to save on drive power by making the material outlet opening ( &prime;) of the chopper ( ) or the feed device lie in the same plane as the inlet opening ( &prime;) of the blower ( ).

Combine having a feeding device for transferring and an outlet zone for discharging straw, chaff and like materials

An arrangement for attaching a chopper to a combine harvester has two slide rails arrangeable on the combine harvester, a unit for suspending the chopper on the slide rails of the combine harvester, a unit for horizontally displacing the chopper and including a driven drive shaft having two ends each provided with a toothed gear, and a unit for preventing tilting of the chopper relative to the combine harvester during the horizontal displacement, the drive shaft being composed of two shaft parts having different lengths and each carrying a respective one of the toothed gears, and the shaft parts being radially adjustable relative to one another by a releasable connection so as to form the tilting preventing unit.

Arrangement for preventing tilting of longitudinally displaceable

The combine has a straw chopper (2), to the rear of a threshing and separator apparatus (1); the straw chopper can be shifted on the straw hood (3) via a movement device (4) into a working position (A) and a nonworking position. For this purpose, this straw chopper (2) rests displaceably on guides (5, 6) of the straw hood (3) and is movable into its two positions by the movement device (4), preferably a pressure fluid cylinder. The discharge hopper (7) of the straw chopper (2), and/or a straw guide rake disposed on the straw chopper (2), are pivotable into a working position (A) and a nonworking position as a function of the displacement motion of the straw chopper (2), via coupling members (9-13).
