Abstract
The invention relates to a self-propelled agricultural machine, for example a self-propelled merger, said self-propelled agricultural machine being provided with at least one motor, at least one elongated unit for carrying out, in use, an agricultural operation on the land, a first wheel axle and a second wheel axle located at a distance from the first wheel axle, wherein the first wheel axle and/or the second wheel axle is/are to be driven by the motor for moving the agricultural machine, wherein the elongated unit is movable from a transport position to a working position and vice versa, so that the maximum width of the self-propelled agricultural machine in the unit's transport position is less than in the unit's working position.

A self-propelled agricultural machine, said self-propelled agricultural machine being provided with at least one motor, at least one elongated unit for carrying out, in use, an agricultural operation on the land, a first wheel axle and a second wheel axle located at a distance from the first wheel axle,
- wherein the first wheel axle and/or the second wheel axle is/are to be driven by the motor for moving the agricultural machine,
- wherein the elongated unit is movable from a transport position to a working position and vice versa, so that the maximum width of the self-propelled agricultural machine in the unit's transport position is less than in the unit's working position, characterized in that the distance between the first wheel axle and the second wheel axle is to be varied depending on the position of the elongated unit,
- wherein the at least one elongated unit is located in the working position in front of the first wheel axle, wherein in the transport position the at least one elongated unit is located largely or completely behind the first wheel axle.
A self-propelled agricultural machine, said self-propelled agricultural machine being provided with at least one motor, at least one elongated unit for carrying out, in use, an agricultural operation on the land, a first wheel axle and a second wheel axle located at a distance from the first wheel axle,
- wherein the first wheel axle and/or the second wheel axle is/are to be driven by the motor for moving the agricultural machine,
- wherein the elongated unit is movable from a transport position to a working position and vice versa, so that the maximum width of the self-propelled agricultural machine in the unit's transport position is less than in the unit's working position, characterized in that the distance between the first wheel axle and the second wheel axle is to be varied depending on the position of the elongated unit,
- wherein the at least one elongated unit is located in the working position in front of the first wheel axle, wherein in the transport position the at least one elongated unit is located largely or completely behind the first wheel axle,
- wherein the self-propelled agricultural machine further includes a folding mechanism for moving the at least one elongated unit between the working position and the transport position.
A self-propelled agricultural machine, said self-propelled agricultural machine being provided with at least one motor, at least one elongated unit for carrying out, in use, an agricultural operation on the land, a first wheel axle and a second wheel axle located at a distance from the first wheel axle,
- wherein the first wheel axle and/or the second wheel axle is/are to be driven by the motor for moving the agricultural machine,
- wherein the elongated unit is movable from a transport position to a working position and vice versa, so that the maximum width of the self-propelled agricultural machine in the unit's transport position is less than in the unit's working position, characterized in that the distance between the first wheel axle and the second wheel axle is to be varied depending on the position of the elongated unit,
- wherein the at least one elongated unit is located in the working position in front of the first wheel axle, wherein in the transport position the at least one elongated unit is located largely or completely behind the first wheel axle,
- wherein the at least one elongated unit is provided with a conveyor belt as well as with a product lifting mechanism for picking up a product from the land, and moving the product onto the conveyor belt, whereby the product is to be put back onto the land on the left or right relative to the direction of travel of the agricultural machine, for example to form a windrow.
