Abstract
A header for an agricultural harvester. The header includes a connector adapted to be connected to a feeder of the agricultural harvester. The header further includes a cutter bar and a first lateral crop transporting mechanism to move crop material towards a first opening at the connector. The header further includes a second lateral crop transporting mechanism provided at a distance from the first lateral crop transporting mechanism. The second lateral crop transporting mechanism is provided to move crop material towards a second opening at the connector, the second opening being different from the first opening.
Claims19
A header for an agricultural harvester, the header comprising:
- a connector adapted to be connected to a feeder of the agricultural harvester;
- a cutter bar;
- a first lateral crop transporting mechanism having a first longitudinal axis configured to move crop material towards a first opening at the connector;
- and
- a second lateral crop transporting mechanism having a second longitudinal axis spaced from the first longitudinal axis of the first lateral crop transporting mechanism, the second lateral crop transporting mechanism configured to move crop material towards a second opening at the connector.
An agricultural combine comprising:
- a header comprising:
- a connector adapted to be connected to a feeder of the agricultural harvester;
- a cutter bar;
- a first lateral crop transporting mechanism configured to move crop material towards a first opening at the connector;
- and
- a second lateral crop transporting mechanism disposed at a distance from the first lateral crop transporting mechanism, the second lateral crop transporting mechanism configured to move crop material towards a second opening at the connector, the second opening being different from the first opening;
- a body comprising a first crop processing mechanism and a second crop processing mechanism;
- and
- a feeder comprising a first channel and a second channel connected to the first and the second opening respectively, wherein the first channel and the second channel are provided to guide the crop material to the first crop processing mechanism and the second crop processing mechanism, respectively.
A header for an agricultural harvester comprising:
- a connector for connecting to an agricultural harvester, the connector having a first opening and a second opening spaced above or anterior to the first opening;
- a first cutter bar;
- a first crop transporting mechanism for moving a first type of crop material towards the first opening of the connector;
- and
- a second crop transporting mechanism configured for moving a second type of crop material towards the second opening.
