Harvesting machine, especially a self-propelled pick-up chopper

摘要

A harvesting machine such as a self-propelled pick-up chopper including a feeder housing having supplying elements and which can be transferred from a swiveled-in operating position about an axle into a swiveled-up maintenance position. In order to be able to transfer the feeder housing rapidly into the swiveled-up maintenance position, the feeder housing can be swung out of the way forward towards the ground in the driving direction about an essentially horizontal axle aligned transversely to the traveling direction of the machine. The supplying elements of the feeder housing can be driven over a drive shaft having a first portion which can be swiveled in the same direction with the feeder housing and a second portion different than the first portion which can be expanded and contracted telescope-like.
