PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a head-forming vegetable harvester suitable for harvesting a head-forming vegetable having a vertically long head-forming shape such as a Chinese cabbage.SOLUTION: A head-forming vegetable harvester includes a harvest work part pulling out and cutting a head-forming vegetable A in a front part of a travel machine body to be conveyed to a rear part. The harvest work part includes: a rake-in wheel 16 pulling out a head-forming vegetable A from a field a rhizome conveyance belt 17 holding and conveying a rhizome part of the head-forming vegetable A pulled out to a rear part a head-forming conveyance belt 18 located in an upper rear part of the rhizome conveyance belt 17 and holding and conveying a head-forming part of the head-forming vegetable A to a rear part a cutting device located between the rhizome conveyance belt 17 and head-forming conveyance belt 18 and cutting a rhizome part of the head-forming vegetable A and a front-located conveyance belt 59 located in a front part of the head-forming conveyance belt 18 and in an upper part of the rake-in wheel 16. The front-located conveyance belt 59 holds a head-forming part of the head-forming vegetable A above a holding position of the head-forming conveyance belt 18 to be conveyed to the head-forming conveyance belt 18.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】白菜のような縦長の結球形状を有する結球野菜の収穫に適した結球野菜収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】結球野菜収穫機は、走行機体の前方で結球野菜Aを引き抜いて切断し後方に搬送する収穫作業部を備える。収穫作業部は、結球野菜Aを圃場から引き抜く掻込ホイール16と、引き抜かれた結球野菜Aの根茎部を後方に挟持搬送する根茎搬送帯17と、根茎搬送帯17の上方後部に位置して結球野菜Aの結球部を後方に挟持搬送する結球搬送帯18と、根茎搬送帯17と結球搬送帯18との間に位置して結球野菜Aの根茎部を切断する切断装置と、結球搬送帯18の前方で掻込ホイール16の上方に位置する前置搬送帯59とを有する。前置搬送帯59は、結球搬送帯18の挟持位置より上で結球野菜Aの結球部を挟持して結球搬送帯18へ搬送する。【選択図】図6
