Harvester with an attachment for a support wheel and a method for storing a support wheel of a harvester

摘要

A harvester has an attachment, for rotatably supporting the support arm of the support wheel to the frame of the header, that includes a first bearing device with a substantially horizontal axis for rotatably supporting the support arm of the support wheel to the attachment, so that the support arm is tiltable between an operating position and a stowed position. The attachment further has a second bearing device with a substantially vertical axis, for rotatably supporting the attachment to the frame, so that the attachment is tiltable between a first position whereby the axis of the first bearing device substantially transverses the direction of travel and a second position whereby the axis of the first bearing device is substantially parallel to the direction of travel.

1. A harvester comprising:
a header with a frame; a support wheel for the header; a support arm to which the support wheel is mounted; and an attachment for rotatably supporting the support arm of the support wheel to the frame of the header, the attachment comprising a first bearing device with a substantially horizontal axis rotatably supporting the support arm of the support wheel to the attachment so that the support arm is tiltable between an operating position and a stowed position, and a second bearing device with a substantially vertical axis rotatably supporting the attachment to the frame, so that the attachment is tiltable between a first position whereby the axis of the first bearing device substantially transverses the direction of travel and a second position whereby the axis of the first bearing device is substantially parallel to the direction of travel; and an adjustment bar that in the first position of the attachment is configured for attachment by at least one fastener to the support arm and a first portion of the frame and in the second position of the attachment is attachable by the at least one fastener to the support arm and a second portion of the frame for holding the arm in the stowed position.
