An agricultural harvesting head for an agricultural combine has a first gauge wheel assembly coupled to a laterally extending frame that is convertible from (a) a harvesting position in which the first gauge wheel assembly supports the frame during crop harvesting, to (b) a transport position in which the first gauge wheel assembly supports the at least one section for transport on the road.

An agricultural vehicle including a chassis and a sectional header system carried by the chassis. The sectional header system includes a center section connected to the chassis and having a pair of lateral ends, at least one additional section, and at least one coupling assembly. The at least one coupling assembly includes at least one actuator and at least one connector. The at least one coupling assembly removably connects the center section to the at least one additional section. The at least one additional section is coupled to the center section in harvesting of a crop material and the at least one additional section is decoupled from the center section in transportation of the sectional header system.

An agricultural implement includes a main frame assembly, a track assembly coupled to the main frame assembly, and a toolbar coupled to the main frame assembly. Furthermore, the agricultural implement includes a caster wheel assembly including a linkage assembly coupled to the toolbar, an actuator, and a caster wheel. The caster wheel is pivotally coupled to the linkage assembly to enable the caster wheel to caster relative to the linkage assembly while the toolbar is in a working position and in a raised position. In addition, the actuator is configured to control a vertical position of the caster wheel relative to the toolbar. The actuator has a first end and a second end, and the second end is positioned between a bottom link and a top link of the linkage assembly.

A wheel mounting structure for a towed agricultural implement having a support beam and a plurality of wheels. The wheels are mounted to the support beam to be displaceable with respect to the support beam between a first position in a transport position and a second position displaced from the first position away from the support beam in a working position. This has as an advantage that the framework is displaced to increase a ground clearance when the towed agricultural implement is in the working position.

An agricultural implement for mounting on a U-shaped foundation frame supported on wheels for travel over a ground surface where the foundation frame includes first and second laterally spaced mounting beams fixed to and extending from a base. The implement is configured to perform an agricultural operation, to rest on the ground surface when in an idle position, and to attach to the foundation frame when in an operating position. The implement comprises a rigid implement portion configured to be attached to the first and second mounting beams at first and second beam locations remote from the base such that the first and second mounting beams are prevented from moving laterally with respect to each other.

A header support for supporting a header during road transport of an agricultural harvester. The header support has a header mounted to it in order to reduce a front axle load of the agricultural harvester. During harvesting, a support wheel of the header support is folded upwardly so it does not touch the ground during harvesting. The rotation axis of the support wheel extends in a substantially vertical plane during harvesting. This allows for a simple construction of the header support and reduces the vibration loads on the bearing of the support wheel during harvesting.

The disclosure relates to a lateral transport system for a harvester comprising a chassis, first and second ground wheels coupled to the chassis, and a lateral transport assembly operably coupled to the chassis and operable between a transport operation mode and a stowed operation mode. The lateral transport assembly comprises a tongue pivotally coupled to the chassis, a first suspension element rotatable about a first axis and a second axis, a second suspension element rotatably about the second axis, and a hydraulic actuation system operably coupled to the tongue, the first suspension element, and the second suspension element. In the transport operation mode, hydraulic fluid is allowed to flow into the hydraulic actuation system to rotate the first suspension element about the first axis, and subsequently rotate the first and second suspension elements about the second axis.
