An agricultural machine, comprising:
- a frame including a pair of wheels configured to enable movement of the agricultural machine in one direction of movement and placed side-by-side and spaced transversely in the direction of movement;
- a central operating unit including a central harvesting device and a central unloading equipment;
- two peripheral operating units, each including a peripheral harvesting device and a peripheral unloading device, each of the peripheral operating units being movable between a work configuration, in which the respective peripheral operating unit is aligned to the central operating unit and oriented transversely to the direction of movement, and a transport configuration, in which the respective peripheral operating unit is folded back in the direction of movement to reduce transverse dimensions of the agricultural machine;
- wherein the central harvesting device is arranged frontally to the wheels and the central unloading equipment is arranged operationally downstream of the central harvesting device to receive harvested agricultural products and to move the harvested agricultural products in an unloading direction transverse to the direction of movement, wherein, in at least one work position, the central unloading equipment:
- is placed between the central harvesting device and the wheels, and
- comprises at least one central unloading device and at least one conveyor arranged in the unloading direction, laterally to the at least one central unloading device in the at least one work position;
- wherein:
- the at least one central unloading device is movable with respect to the central harvesting device between the at least one work position, wherein the at least one central unloading device directly receives the harvested agricultural products from the central harvesting device, and a non-operational position, wherein the at least one central unloading device is offset with respect to the at least one work position to enable the harvested agricultural products to fall immediately downstream of the central harvesting device;
- the at least one conveyor has a fixed position with respect to the frame;
- the frame has a track defined by a distance that lies between the two wheels orthogonally to the direction of movement, with the at least one central unloading device, in the at least one work position, placed inside the track;
- the central harvesting device has a dimension, evaluated along the unloading direction, greater than the track;
- the at least one conveyor has a reduced dimension, evaluated along the unloading direction, compared to the at least one central unloading device to occupy a space between at least one end portion of the central harvesting device and a corresponding wheel of the frame.
