• a frame (11),
• a crop collecting device (12) which is designed to collect crops from a substrate,
• a crop conveying device (13) which is designed to convey collected crops in the direction of a feeder device of the harvesting vehicle,
• a crop hold-down device (14) which is mounted on a receiver (17) which can be displaced relative to the frame (11), and
• a protection apparatus (18) which has at least two portions (19, 20) and which extends over the crop collecting device (12) and over the crop conveying device (13),
• wherein a first portion of the at least two portions (19) of the protection apparatus (18) and a second portion of the at least two portions (20) of the protection apparatus (18) are connected together in an articulated manner, such that with a displacement of the crop hold-down device (14) and the receiver (17) thereof relative to the frame (11), the first portion of the at least two portions (19) of the protection apparatus (18) and the second portion of the at least two portions (20) of the protection apparatus (18) can be displaced relative to one another,
• wherein each of the least two portions (19, 20) of the protection apparatus (18) have lateral arms (23, 24);
• and
• wherein struts (29) extending in the transverse direction of the attachment run between the lateral arms (23, 24) of the at least two portions (19, 20) of the protection apparatus (18), wherein a common covering tarpaulin (30) or a covering net (30) or a combination of a covering tarpaulin and a covering net (30) for all of the portions of the protection apparatus is arranged on the struts (29).
