A cutting device for agricultural harvesting machines, such as, for instance, self-loading forage boxes or baling presses with a conveyor channel, in which a number of cutting blades mounted in rotatable fashion, arranged at least in a single row and protruding into the conveyor channel in a cutting position interact with a driven rotating conveyor mechanism equipped with conveying prongs and aligned along a horizontal axis crosswise to the travel and work direction for the purpose of cutting stalk products. A support mechanism provides elastic support to each individual cutting blade in the cutting position, and a control device releases the support mechanism, thereby allowing all or a number of cutting blades to rotate into a non-cutting position. A support and control member mounted in rotatable fashion and aligned about an axis parallel to a rotation axis of the corresponding cutting blade is assigned to each cutting blade for the purpose of providing elastic support to each individual cutting blade in the cutting position and for allowing the cutting blade to rotate out of the cutting position into a non-cutting position.

Cutting device for an agricultural harvester

A pick-up baler for agricultural produce with a compression piston and a rotary conveyor, which rotates about an axis of rotation , comprises rakes , which have axes extending approximately parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor, convey the harvested crop through a supply channel , can be swiveled about their rake axes under the control of curves and of which at least one acts as a conveying rake , the swiveling of at least one further rake, which functions as a supply rake , being controllable as a function of the degree of filling of the supply channel in such a manner that, when a specified degree of filling of the supply channel is reached, the harvested crop, collected there, is conveyed over a baling channel inlet opening into a baling channel . The supply rake is guided in a curved path , which can be moved from a conveying position into a supplying position, whereas the conveying rakes are guided in an immovable curved path
