Abstract
A hydraulic lifting apparatus for harvesting machines, the apparatus having a plurality of lifting cylinders connected to the undercarriage of the harvesting machine which support a mower table so that it rests on the ground with a minimal resting weight, and also having energy storing tanks to provide different suspension of the mower table. To accomplish this a hydraulically actuatable stop valve is located in a first circuit of working lines running between a distributing slide valve and the lifting cylinders. This stop valve is actuated by a control pressure which is branched from a second circuit of working lines. The second circuit of working lines runs from the distributing slide valve over a pressure relief valve to a reservoir, and is able to be disconnected by a solenoid valve. The stop valve has a valve element with a series of bores through which the pressure set by the pressure relief valve passes through the blocked first circuit of working lines into the lifting cylinders. Thereby the mower table automatically lowers with a preselected ground bearing force or selectively without the ground bearing force.
