A header of a combine harvester is provided. The header includes a belt conveyor configured to direct a movement of harvested crop material toward a feederhouse of the combine harvester. The belt conveyor is located adjacent an inlet of the feederhouse. The belt conveyor includes at least one protrusion extending radially from the belt conveyor that helps direct movement of harvested crop material toward the feederhouse.

A driver unit for a conveyor is disclosed. The driver unit includes a drive finger, driving conveyed material, and a holding body for positioning the drive finger on the rotary conveyor. The holding body has a socket into which an end section of the drive finger can be inserted. Furthermore, a securing element is used to secure the drive finger to the socket, whereby the securing element includes a section arranged eccentric to an axis of the securing element to hold the drive finger in the socket.

A combine harvester includes a load-bearing undercarriage movable via a drivable device engaged in the ground, a threshing and separating device attached to the load-bearing undercarriage, and a feeder house attached to the load-bearing undercarriage. The feeder house includes an endless traction mechanism which circulates about a vertically movable lower deflection roller and a drivable upper deflection roller. A harvesting attachment is coupled to the feeder house for receiving or cutting off harvested crops which are lying or standing upright on a field and which are able to be supplied via the feeder house to the threshing and separating device. An actuator is actuated by an external force arranged for adjusting the vertical position of the lower deflection roller and is connected to a control device which is coupled to a sensor for determining a throughput by a transmission of a signal.

Harvesting machines and agricultural harvesting heads for harvesting machines are disclosed herein. A harvesting machine includes a main frame, a cutter assembly, and a conveyor system. The cutter assembly is pivotally coupled to the main frame. The cutter assembly includes a cutter bar configured to sever crop material adjacent to the ground and a cutter frame configured to support the cutter bar for pivotal movement relative to the main frame. The conveyor system is coupled to the main frame and configured to convey severed crop material in a rearward direction away from the cutter bar toward a central feed drum of the harvesting machine.

A harvesting assembly for harvesting a crop including a cutting knife configured to provide cut crop and a draper platform including a first side draper and a second side draper. A crop auger assembly includes a first auger disposed at the first side draper and a second auger disposed at the second side draper, wherein the first auger and the second auger each include a cylinder having a surface, a flight extending from the surface, and a plurality of fingers extending from the surface and beyond an exposed edge of the flight, wherein the crop auger rotates about an auger axis. A feed drum is disposed at a center draper wherein the feed drum includes a plurality of fingers.

In one aspect, a system for adjusting the conveyor belt tension force within an agricultural harvester may include a conveyor having a first roller, a second roller spaced apart from the first roller, and a conveyor belt configured to engage the first and second rollers. The system may also include a tensioner assembly having a ratcheting mechanism configured to selectively adjust a position of the first roller relative to the second roller to adjust a tension force exerted on the conveyor belt.

The combine harvester includes a harvest frame that receives grain culms cut by a reaping device and a rake-in auger disposed within the harvest frame so as to be rotatable about a rotary axis extending in a right/left direction of the harvester body. The rake-in auger conveys the grain culms inside the harvest frame in a right/left direction of the harvester body and rakes in the grain culms toward the rear of the harvester body. The combine harvester further includes a feeder that is communicatively connected to a rear wall of the harvest frame, and that conveys the grain culms raked in by the rake-in auger toward the rear of the harvester body. A grain culm sensor that detects the presence of the grain culms when coming in contact with the grain culms is disposed at a grain culm feed port in the feeder.

A header of a combine harvester includes a belt conveyor configured to direct a movement of harvested crop material toward a feederhouse of the combine harvester. The belt conveyor is located adjacent an inlet of the feederhouse. The belt conveyor includes at least one protrusion extending radially from the belt conveyor that helps direct movement of harvested crop material toward the feederhouse.

A harvesting system for harvesting stalky plants is mountable on a power unit such as an agricultural combine. The harvesting system may have both an upper harvesting head that cuts off the tops of the plants and the directs seed-bearing portions of the plant to the combine's thresher, and a lower harvesting head cuts the stalks near the ground and discharges the stalks in two or more windrows. In order to increase throughput, the upper harvesting head may be raisable and lowerable relative to the combine's feeder housing. To accommodate such adjustment, a discharge conveyor of the upper harvesting head may extend at an adjustable angle relative to the feeder housing. The lower harvesting head may have draper belts arranged to discharge the stalks in two or more, and more typically three or more, laterally spaced, parallel windrows.

A sugarcane harvester includes an intake and cutting assembly for cutting the sugarcane stalks from the sugarcane plants as the sugarcane harvester moves through the sugarcane plants, a chopping section for receiving the sugarcane stalks from the intake and cutting assembly and chopping the sugarcane stalks into billets, a reservoir for holding a quantity of the billets, the reservoir having a volume of at least one cubic meter, and a discharge assembly for moving the billets from the reservoir and discharging them from the sugarcane harvester.
