Pickup belt headers may include a ramp disposed in a gap formed between a first endless belt of a pickup belt assembly and a second endless belt of a transfer belt assembly. Fingers may be provided on the first endless belt, and the fingers may be deflected, such as by pivoting or bending, in response to engagement between the fingers and the ramp to avoid contact between the fingers and the second endless belt.

A header for an agricultural work vehicle including a feeder house is provided, with the header operable to move crop material in a forward feed direction during a crop processing operation and in a reverse feed direction during a declogging operation. The header includes a frame configured to be coupled to the feeder house, a pickup belt assembly coupled to the frame and including a movable pickup belt configured to convey crop material, a transfer belt assembly coupled to the frame and including a movable transfer belt arranged to convey crop material from the pickup belt assembly to the feeder house in the forward feed direction, an actuator coupled to the frame that pivots the pickup belt assembly relative to the frame, and a discharge zone through which crop material is conveyed in the reverse feed direction during the declogging operation.

Agricultural harvester (10), having a frame (11) on which a chassis (15) engages, having booms (17), wherein on both sides of the frame (11) in each case at least one boom (17) engages on the frame in such a way that, in order to transfer the harvester (10) between a working position and a transport position, the respective boom (17) can be displaced relative to the frame (11), having working units (18), wherein in each case at least one working unit (18) engages on each of the booms (17) and can be displaced together with the respective boom (17), having pivoting cylinders (23) and lifting cylinders (24), wherein on each side of the frame (11) in each case a pivoting cylinder (23) and in each case a lifting cylinder (24) are arranged which displace the at least one boom (17) arranged on the respective side of the frame (11), together with the at least one working unit (18), over a respective transfer movement between the working position and the transport position, having a control unit and/or at least one device for hydraulic flow distribution which are designed to simultaneously hydraulically control the pivoting cylinder (23) and lifting cylinder (24) arranged on the respective side of the frame (11) in order to transfer the harvester (10) between the working position and the transport position at least over part of the transfer movement of the at least one boom (17) arranged on the respective side of the frame (11) and to simultaneously use them for the respective transfer movement.

The invention relates to a picking-up device for bales (14) formed by compression of an, in particular, long-stemmed plant material, comprising a first side part (48), a second side part (50) spaced apart relative thereto in a first spatial direction (42), and connection units (66) for connecting the side parts (48, 50) along the first spatial direction (42), wherein the side parts (48, 50) are designed to assume a transport state relative to one another in which a receiving space (40) is defined between the side parts (48, 50) and bales (14) are positioned, for transport purposes, between the side parts (48, 50) in the receiving space (50), and to assume a filling state in which the side parts (48, 50) are at a greater distance relative to one another in the first spatial direction (42) than in the transport state and in which the bales (14) are instertable into the receiving space (40) along a second spatial direction (44) transverse to the first spatial direction via an insertion opening (68) arranged between the side parts (48, 50). In addition, the invention relates to a picking-up system with such a picking-up device.
