A harvesting header comprising a center frame section and two outer frame sections. The outer frame sections can pivot relative to the center frame section between an operating position and a transport position. The center frame section and the outer frame sections carry collection devices for gathering crops and there is a separating point that moves automatically between an operating position and a transport position in the pivot region between the center frame section and the outer frame sections. The separating points arranged in the pivot region between the center frame section and the outer frame sections move between the operating position and the transport position in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction of travel and/or to pivot about the height axis.
A harvesting header having a direction of travel is provided with a center frame section having two side ends and two outer frame sections, the two outer frame sections are attached to the side ends of the center frame section, the two outer frame sections can pivot relative to the center frame section between an operating position and a transport position, the side ends define pivot regions between the outer frame sections and the center frame section, the center frame section and the outer frame sections carry collection devices for collecting crops, separating points are located in the pivot regions, the separating points located in the pivot regions automatically move between an operating position and a transport position, characterized in that the separating points arranged in the pivot regions move between the operating position and the transport position in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction of travel.
A method of folding a harvesting header having a direction of travel, the harvesting header comprising a center frame section having two side ends and two outer frame sections, the two outer frame sections are attached to the side ends of the center frame section, the two outer frame sections can pivot relative to the center frame section between an operating position and a transport position, the side ends define pivot regions between the outer frame sections and the center frame section, the center frame section and the outer frame sections carry collection devices for collecting crops, separating points are located in the pivot regions, the method comprising the following steps:
