PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid combine harvester on which an internal combustion engine (engine) and an electric motor are installed as power sources, and whose fuel consumption can be reduced.SOLUTION: The hybrid combine harvester has a configuration where a hydraulic cylinder (23) for lifting or lowering is disposed between a machine frame (3) and a reaping support frame (17), an operation rod (24) is projected from the reaping support frame (17) to the back side of a pivot shaft (12), a crank mechanism (26) is disposed for converting the movement of the operation rod (24) upward or downward swung with the lifting or lowering of the reaping support frame (17) into rotation movement, a dynamo (25) is driven with the rotation movement of the crank mechanism (26) caused by the lowering of a reaping device (8), electric power generated with the dynamo (25) is stored in a battery (29), and auxiliary motors (40) suitably disposed on the rotation portions of a threshing device (4) are driven with the electric power from the battery (29). |
