CROP PICKING HEAD WITH ROAD TRAVEL SUPPORT DEVICE

摘要

A combination of a harvesting machine, a crop picking head, and a vehicle to support the crop picking head. The vehicle features a mount and a t least one wheel extending down from the mount that supports the crop picking head and alleviates the weight on the front wheels of the self-propelled harvesting machine when driving on the road. The vehicle is attached to the crop picking head when driving on the road and detached from the crop picking head when harvesting a field. The crop picking head includes a support frame which supports the harvesting equipment. In the preferred design, the mount is connected such that the support forces of the vehicle pass directly to the support frame rather than load mo re fragile components of the crop picking head.
