The present invention relates to a structural set for the assembly of a header intended for harvesters, comprising technical, constructive and functional aspects capable of promoting the tilting adjustment of the header in order to improve the accuracy levels of the angle of attack of the cutting discs during harvesting. More particularly, the present invention refers to a structural set for the assembly of a header in agricultural machines comprising a girder formed by a central beam on which a support is provided for suitable fitting of the structure of the header, the central beam being anchored to the chassis of the agricultural machine by an actuator device and further connecting at least two support columns, which are pivoted on the chassis of the agricultural machine by fastening device(s).

A header assembly for mounting upon a front end of a harvester combine's feeder house, the header assembly incorporating a central header which is adapted for fixed attachment to the feeder house front end; the header assembly further incorporating a lateral header and a pivot joint positioning an oppositely lateral end of the lateral header over the lateral end of the central header, the pivot joint being adapted for facilitating movements of the lateral header between a mowing position and a transport position, the lateral header cantilevering laterally over a crop edge upon pivoting to the mowing position and extending rearwardly upon counter-pivoting to the transport position.

A system for modifying a row unit of a harvesting head, the system including at least one cutting disk, a right angle gear set configured for being drivingly connected to the cutting disk, and a drive shaft between a row unit gear box and the right angle gear set. The system may drive two counter-rotating cutting disks that can be positioned either at near the rear or the front of the row unit. A method for modifying the row unit includes removing existing stalk rolls and housings, installing a cover plate over a gearbox to which the housings were mounted, removing existing trash knives, drilling holes in the row unit frame for mounting the cutting disks, installing the cutting disks.

The disclosed invention relates to the harvesting of sugar-bearing ground crops such as sweet sorghum, in cold regions. The sugar crop harvester with various adaptations described is comprised of operational components, or features, that minimize the damage done to the crop during harvesting, particularly those things that result in deterioration of sugars prior to processing. The harvester includes several operational components that are well suited for processing sweet sorghum, particularly the dividers, base cutters, feed conveyor, de-trashing roll, brush rolls, hurler drums, de-bridging thrash roller, air blast, toppers and bin. Other components of the harvester are designed for easy maintenance. The operational components can be used with either a whole-stalk style harvester, or a chopper-style harvester.

A header assembly for mounting upon a front end of a harvester combine's feeder house, the header assembly incorporating a central header which is adapted for fixed attachment to the feeder house front end; the header assembly further incorporating a lateral header and a pivot joint positioning an oppositely lateral end of the lateral header over the lateral end of the central header, the pivot joint being adapted for facilitating movements of the lateral header between a mowing position and a transport position, the lateral header cantilevering laterally over a crop edge upon pivoting to the mowing position and extending rearwardly upon counter-pivoting to the transport position.

In one aspect, an extractor assembly for an agricultural machine includes a deflector designed to cause air passing through external walls of the extractor assembly to intersect, which reduces the air flow velocity and improves the mixing of crop waste, resulting in a more uniform waste exhaustion and allowing better direction of said waste out of the agricultural machine. In one implementation, the deflector includes flat plate that defines a perimeter adapted to be coupled to an extractor hood of the extractor assembly. The deflector may also include a fixing plate and a fixing assembly.
