HEADER TILT MECHANISM

摘要

An agricultural harvester (10) has a chassis (12) and a header (18) for gathering a crop and feeding it into the agricultural harvester (10). The agricultural harvester (10) has a threshing and separating system (24) and a grain cleaning system (26) for separating grain from MOG, and a feeder housing (20) for moving the crop gathered by the header (18) from the header (18) into the threshing and separating system (24). A header tilt mechanism (98) allows the header (18) to tilt in order to follow ground contours, and may use a face plate (80) movably attached to the feeder housing (20). The header tilt mechanism (98) includes at least one straight line linkage (100) movably connecting the header (18) to the feeder housing (20). The feeder housing (20) and/or header tilt mechanism (98) may be provided with hydraulic cylinders (72, 122) and/or pressure controlling or limiting arrangements (124, 126).
