A forage harvester is configured to chop harvested material and includes at least one conditioning unit for conditioning the chopped harvested material. The conditioning unit may transfer from its active position (in which operatively connected with other working units) to its passive position (in which the conditioning unit is released from the operational connection). In the passive position, the condition unit may be removed from the entirety of the forage harvester. The forage harvester further includes at least two track drives arranged on opposing ends of a front axle of the forage harvester. The forage harvester includes a free cross-section positioned on a removal side of the forage harvester through which the conditioning unit, in its passive position, can be removed laterally from the rest of the forage harvester, as well as removed above the track drive assigned to the removal side.

An outer stalk divider for an attachment for harvesting row crop, in particular for a corn picker or corn header, includes a base body that extends in a traveling direction and a surface that extends in the traveling direction on an upper side, a hood, which is situated at the front on the base body as viewed in the traveling direction, and tapers in the traveling direction, and a cover element which, in the traveling direction, is situated behind the hood and on the upper side. The cover element extends at least partially along the surface of the base body, and is at least partially arched in design on an outer surface facing away from the surface. The cover element may be adjustable relative to the base body.

A harvesting attachment for whole plant harvesting includes a pick-up for picking up plants from a field, a first transverse conveyor belt and a second transverse conveyor belt for conveying the plants picked up transversely in a direction toward of a longitudinal center plane of the harvesting attachment, and two longitudinal conveyor belts which are arranged side-by-side and adjacent to the longitudinal center plane of the harvesting attachment and are set up to convey the plants entering from the transverse conveyor belts rearward to a rear discharge point of the harvesting attachment. The two longitudinal conveyor belts are inclined vertically upward in a direction toward the center plane at least over part of their length along the center plane.

A maize header (2) comprising multiple mowing and infeed units (10) and comprising feeding drums (12) and turning drums (14, 15) arranged behind the mowing and infeed units (10), in the working position a feeding drum (12) is behind the two central mowing and infeed units (10a) and a first turning drum (14) is behind a transfer region between the central mowing and infeed units (10a) and a first lateral mowing and infeed unit (10b) that is laterally next to it, and to transfer the maize header (2) between the two positions, the mowing and infeed units (10) pivot relative to one another about axes (16) so the first lateral mowing and infeed units (10b) and one of the first turning drums (14) is pivotable relative to the adjoining central mowing and infeed unit (10a), so that, in the transport position, a frustoconical envelope (14a) of the respective first turning drum (14) is completely inside a permissible transport width of the maize header (2).

A maize header comprising multiple mowing and infeed units (units 10), the first lateral mowing and infeed units (units 10b) are laterally next to central mowing and infeed units (units 10a), second lateral mowing and infeed units (units 10c) are laterally next to the first units (10b), and units (10d) are laterally next to the second units (10c), wherein, to transfer the maize header (2) between the working and a transport position, the units (10) are pivotable relative to one another about horizontal pivot axes (16) so that each of the units (10b) is pivotable about a first pivot axis (16a), each of the units (10c) is pivotable about a second pivot axis (16b), and each of the units (10d) is pivotable about a third pivot axis (16c), wherein a pivot angle (?1) about the axes (16a) is 164??4?, a pivot angle (?2) about the (16b) is 180??4?, and a pivot angle (?3) about the axes (16c) is 184??4?.

A cutting mechanism for the harvesting of whole plants can include a number of mowing elements, which include a lower cutting disk and conveyor rotors located above, two transverse conveyors located in the back, and a delivery conveyor. The cutting disks of the mowing elements work together with a frame-affixed counter-blade and can be driven together with the corresponding conveyor rotors by a shaft. The shafts are driven by a gear arrangement that extends, on the front side, over the width of the cutting mechanism. The frame of the cutting mechanism can include a middle part and lateral parts that are placed so they can swivel, on the middle part, between a horizontal operating position and a raised transporting position.

A chopping assembly for a harvesting implement having a blade assembly, a housing, and a guide. The blade assembly is disposed within the housing and the guide directs cornstalks toward an input port on the housing. The blade assembly not only cuts the cornstalk from its root but also chops the stalk into stover. A fluid dynamic force is created by the blade assembly to direct the stover with the aid of the housing to an output port.
