The invention pertains to a harvester header support (20). The harvester header support (20) supports the header during road transport of an agricultural harvester (1) with a header mounted to it in order to reduce the front axle load of the agricultural harvester (1). During harvesting, the support wheel (25) of the harvester header support (20) are folded upwardly so they do not touch the ground during harvesting. The rotation axis (27) of the support wheel (25) extends in a substantially vertical plane during harvesting. This allows for a simple construction of the harvester header support (20) and reduces the vibration loads on the bearing of the support wheel (25) during harvesting.
