A header for an agricultural harvester. The header includes a connector adapted to be connected to a feeder of the agricultural harvester. The header further includes a cutter bar and a first lateral crop transporting mechanism to move crop material towards a first opening at the connector. The header further includes a second lateral crop transporting mechanism provided at a distance from the first lateral crop transporting mechanism. The second lateral crop transporting mechanism is provided to move crop material towards a second opening at the connector, the second opening being different from the first opening.

The feeder device located at the centre section of a front of a harvester. The feeder device comprises one or more flights configured for improving operation of the feeder device. The feeder device comprises a shaft including a plurality of flights. They extend substantially along the entire length of the shaft and are arranged in a spaced apart relationship with respect to each other. In this manner, a threaded-like formation defined by the spaced apart arrangement of flights extends substantially along the entire length of the shaft of the feeder device.

An agricultural vehicle including a chassis, a feeder housing supported by the chassis, and an attachment. The attachment includes a header coupled to the feeder housing. The header has a top support beam and a pair of lateral ends. The attachment also includes an auger that has an axis of rotation and is configured to rotate about the axis of rotation. The auger is pivotally connected to the header and is pivotable about a pivot axis. The auger is selectively pivotable between a stored position and an operating position such that in the stored position the auger does not obstruct a line of sight of an operator.

An agricultural harvester includes a chassis, a header for cutting and gathering crop material, the header being carried by the chassis, and an auger. The auger moves the cut crop material toward a central area of the header. The auger is rotatably carried by the header. The auger has a plurality of auger sections. The auger includes an auger crankshaft and a hingeable coupling for coupling two of the auger sections to each other. The hingeable coupling allows the auger sections to rotate about differing axes. The hingeable coupling has an internal opening. The auger crankshaft provides positional timing to auger fingers. The auger crankshaft passing through the internal opening.

A header for an agricultural vehicle includes: a header frame; a first deck plate carried by the header frame; a second deck plate carried by the header frame, the first deck plate and the second deck plate forming a gap therebetween defining a gap width and a width direction; a rotatable tube carried by the header frame and connected to at least one of the first deck plate and the second deck plate such that rotation of the rotatable tube adjusts the gap width; and a spring fixed to the rotatable tube and having at least one end captured by the second deck plate such that a force directed in the width direction acting on the second deck plate produces a spring force in the spring.

A mower has a plurality of rotary cutters for cutting a crop and a swathing unit for forming a cut crop into a swath. In some embodiments, the swathing unit includes an auger and a housing that extends around at least part of the auger and provides a swathing aperture through which cut crop material is ejected to form a swath. In some embodiments, the housing includes at least one guide plate that can be adjusted to adjust the width W of the swathing aperture.

A header for an agricultural vehicle includes: a header frame; a flexible cutter supported by the header frame and including a plurality of cutting edges; a reel including a plurality of reel sections movably supported by the header frame, each of the reel sections including a plurality of tines and being independently movable from the other reel sections; and at least one rigid link connecting the flexible cutter to one of the reel sections, the at least one rigid link being configured to transmit flexing forces acting on the flexible cutter to the connected one reel section such that a substantially constant separation is maintained between the flexible cutter and the connected one reel section.

A multi-segment header (102) for an agricultural harvester comprising a multi-segment chassis (150) having a longitudinal support beam (152), an auger (156) extending widthwise across the multi-segment chassis (150) and adjacent the longitudinal support beam (152), and a backsheet extension (160) mounted to a posterior end of the longitudinal support beam (152) of the multi-segment chassis (150). The auger (156) and the backsheet extension blocks grain from passing over the backsheets (158) and going unharvested.

An agricultural vehicle including a chassis, at least one power take off member, and a folding header operably coupled to the agricultural vehicle and supported by the chassis. The folding header includes a center section operably coupled to the chassis of the agricultural vehicle. The center section includes a pair of lateral ends and at least one drive assembly operably coupled to the at least one power take off member of the agricultural vehicle. The folding header also includes at least one additional section pivotally coupled to one of the lateral ends of the center section and operably coupled to the at least one drive assembly. The at least one additional section is selectively pivotable between an operational position and a nonoperational position. The center section is configured to harvest a crop material in both of the operational position and nonoperational position of the at least one additional section.

A header for an agricultural harvester includes a header body that is configured to be connected to the harvester. The header body is configured for cutting plants from the ground and distributing those plants to a feeder of the agricultural harvester. A wheel is attached to the header body for contacting the ground to support the header body above the ground. A lifting power unit moves the wheel with respect to the header body to adjust a distance between the header body and the ground.
