Abstract
The invention relates to an agricultural harvesting machine having a switching device for cutter blades for comminuting crop material before the pressing or gathering operation. It is particularly applicable for round and square baling presses as well as self-loading forage boxes. The essential characteristics of the invention are support strips, which are associated with pivot strips and attached to bearing sleeves, and a blocking rod which is arranged outside the pivot range of the support strips, extends across the whole width of the conveying channel and can be pivoted by an adjusting device into the working range of the support strips.
