Drive system for harvesting attachment of e.g. corn harvesting machine, has length variable cardan shaft with universal joint at one end connected to drive motor and another joint at another end coupled to harvesting attachment

摘要

A length variable cardan shaft (86) has a universal joint (88) at one end coupled to the drive motor of a harvesting machine (10) via shaft of one drive component, and a universal joint (94) at another end coupled to the drive shaft (78) of an output component linked to a harvesting attachment (42). The cardan shaft facilitates harvesting setting of the attachment. Independent claims are included for the following: (a) a harvesting attachment; (b) and a harvesting machine.
