METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HARVESTING CROPS USING A TRACTOR-PULLED CROP HARVESTER

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for harvesting crops in adjacent rows or swaths using a tractor-drawn crop harvester adapted for operation on either side of the pulling tractor. The crop harvester is provided with an arched hitching tongue extending from a location proximate to the transverse center of the harvester frame to the hitch of the tractor which is capable of swinging over the harvesting apparatus and of sufficient length to permit the harvester to be positioned by a control mechanism to operate on either side of the tractor.
