WINDROWER
The invention relates to a windrower (1) having at least one pickup device (10), which has a pickup rotor (11) and a transfer rotor (14), which can be driven in the same direction about axes of rotation (A, B) which extend at least predominantly along a transverse axis (Y), wherein the pickup rotor (11) is configured to pick up agricultural crop material from the ground (70) by means of pickup prongs (12), to lift it in relation to a vertical axis (Z) and to transfer it to the transfer rotor (14), which is arranged at least in part higher than the pickup rotor (11) and is configured to take over the crop material by means of transfer prongs (15), to lift it at least initially in relation to the vertical axis (Z) and to transfer it to a downstream transverse conveyor (30), which is arranged at least in part behind the pickup device (10) in relation to a longitudinal axis (X) and is configured to receive the crop material transferred by the transfer rotor (14) on a conveying surface (36), to convey it along the transverse axis (Y) by means of a conveying element (32) and to deposit it in windrows on the ground (70), wherein the transfer rotor (14) is configured to discharge at least some of the crop material above the conveying surface (36) in relation to the vertical axis (Z) and to throw it onto the said surface. In order, in the case of a windrower, to enable crop material to be efficiently picked up and transferred to a transverse conveyor, it is envisaged according to the invention that, in at least one working position of the windrower (1), a normal straight line (N), which runs perpendicular to a region (37) of the conveying surface that is central in relation to the longitudinal axis (X) and which runs through a point (38) on the conveying element (32) that is furthest forward in relation to the longitudinal axis (X), at least touches a range of movement (D) of the transfer prongs (15).
WINDROWER WITH PICKUP DEVICE
The invention relates to a windrower (1), having a main frame (2), which can be supported via an undercarriage (4) in the operating state, and having at least one windrower unit (20), which is connected at least indirectly to the main frame (2) and has a pickup device (21), and a transverse conveyor (30), which is arranged at least predominantly behind it in relation to a windrower longitudinal axis (X) in a working configuration of the windrower (1) and has a transverse conveyor frame (31), wherein the pickup device (21) is configured, in the working configuration, to pick up agricultural crop material from the ground (50) and to transfer it to the transverse conveyor (30), and the transverse conveyor (30) is configured to convey the transferred crop material along a windrower transverse axis (Y) and deposit it in windrows on the ground (50). In order to enable improved dynamic adaptation to a ground profile in the case of a windrower, it is envisaged according to the invention that the pickup device (21) is vertically movable both relative to the transverse conveyor frame (31) and also relative to the main frame (2), at least in relation to a windrower vertical axis (Z)
