Abstract
A method for controlling a transfer device () mounted pivotally on a harvesting machine () so that it can be pivoted about both a vertical axis () and a horizontal axis () is described. In this method the transfer device is automatically swung from an actual position (A) about the vertical axis () into another position above a supporting member () for the transfer device () mounted on the harvesting machine (). The transfer device () is then automatically lowered into a street travel position on the supporting member () within an event-controlled street travel positioning procedure. Moreover a suitable apparatus for controlling the transfer device () is also described.
