## Abstract

A harvesting machine for picking up crop includes a container with a closable filler neck used to accommodate a fluid that is fed by at least one supply system to crop picked up by the harvesting machine. The container has at least one further, closable opening, through which at least one additional container is inserted into the container. The additional container is fillable with a fluid and has contents that can be mixed with the fluid present in the container.
