PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crop harvester in which a harvesting portion for harvesting crops from a field, and a recovery portion having a support base for a container for recovering the crops from the harvesting portion are disposed on the self-propelled machine frame, and which can support the container outside the machine frame and simultaneously move and store the container easily.SOLUTION: In the crop harvester, a pivot axis P for swingably and vertically movably supporting a supporting base 41 in a lowered use attitude projecting outside the self-propelled machine frame or in a lifted stored attitude is disposed on the inside of an outermost side edge 4a of the self-propelled machine frame so that the support base 41 is placed inside the self-propelled machine frame in the lifted stored attitude.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】作物を圃場から収穫する収穫部と、収穫部からの作物を回収する容器のための支持台を有した回収部とを自走機体に設けた作物収穫機において、容器を機体外で支持させることができながら、移動や格納も行ないやすくする。【解決手段】支持台41を自走機体外に突出した下降使用姿勢と上昇格納姿勢とに揺動昇降自在に支持する枢支軸芯Pを、支持台41が上昇格納姿勢で自走機体内に入るよう自走機体の最外側縁4aよりも内側に配置してある。【選択図】図5
