Auger lift for grass pickup header

Abstract

A pickup assembly for an agricultural harvester includes a pickup assembly frame, a pickup unit, a wind guard assembly, and a feeding auger. The pickup unit is carried by the pickup assembly frame and configured to pick up crop. The wind guard assembly is pivotably coupled to the pickup assembly frame. The feeding auger is rotatably coupled to an auger arm, the auger arm being pivotably connected to the pickup assembly frame at a first pivot axle. An auger control arm extends from the first pivot axle in a direction different from the auger arm and is configured for pivoting together with the auger arm. The auger control arm provides at least one of the following functions: limiting a maximum and minimum height of the feeding auger, providing suspension for the feeding auger when pivoting relative to the pickup assembly frame, and lifting the feeding auger and wind guard assembly.
