The crop treatment means supported on a first wheeled chassis, which supports a power source for propulsion of the combine, operation of the crop separating and operation of the crop gathering means. The crop gathering means is supported on a second wheeled chassis which is pivotally mounted to the first wheeled chassis to be movable between a first position lying beside the first wheeled chassis and a second position trailing behind the first wheeled chassis. The crop gathering means is pivotally mounted on the second wheeled chassis for rotation about a substantially vertical axis between a first position lying transversely on the second wheeled chassis and a second position lying longitudinally thereon, wherein when the second wheeled chassis is beside the first wheeled chassis and the crop gathering means is located transversely on the second wheeled chassis, the crop gathering means lies transversely in front of the crop treatment means and the outlet of the crop gathering means is in communication with the inlet of the crop treatment means.
