Maize Header For A Forage Harvester, And Forage Harvester Comprising Such A Maize Header

A maize header (2) for a forage harvester (1) for harvesting stalk crops,

• comprising multiple mowing and infeed units (10) each having multiple drum-like or chain-like mowing and infeed members (11) which can be rotated about a vertical or approximately vertical axis, can be driven in revolution, and are intended for severing the crop in a substantially horizontal direction from a field that is to be cultivated,
• comprising feeding drums (12) and turning drums (14, 15) which are arranged behind the mowing and infeed units (10) as seen in the harvesting direction and can be rotated about a vertical or approximately vertical axis,
• wherein, in the working position of the maize header (2), a respective feeding drum (12) is arranged behind the two central mowing and infeed units (10a) as seen in the harvesting direction,
• wherein, in the working position of the maize header (2), as seen in the harvesting direction, a respective first turning drum (14) is arranged behind a transfer region between each of the central mowing and infeed units (10a) and a first lateral mowing and infeed unit (10b) that is arranged laterally directly next to it,
• wherein, to transfer the maize header (2) between the working position and a transport position, the mowing and infeed units (10) are pivotable relative to one another about horizontal or approximately horizontal axes (16) in such a way that each of the first lateral mowing and infeed units (10b) together with one of the first turning drums (14) is pivotable relative to the respective adjoining central mowing and infeed unit (10a), in such a way that, in the transport position of the maize header (2), a frustoconical envelope (14a) of the respective first turning drum (14) is completely inside a permissible transport width of the maize header (2) in the transport position of the maize header (2).
