Abstract
A front harvesting attachment for a self-propelled harvesting machine having a central part pivotally mounted onto an intake channel of the harvesting machine, side parts that are moveable relative to the central part between an operating position, wherein the side parts are positioned on either side of the central part, and a raised transport position. Adjusting devices move the side parts between the operation and raised transport positions. Immobilizing devices selectively prevent movement of the front harvesting attachment relative to the intake channel during transport of the harvesting attachment. The immobilizing devices are coupled to the adjusting devices such that the immobilizing devices are actuated, thereby preventing movement of the front harvesting attachment relative to the intake channel, when the adjusting devices have moved the side parts to the raised transport position.
