PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a normal combine harvester including a longitudinal reaping apparatus for cutting entangled culms between culms of reaping object and unreaped culms and excellently performs reaping by the longitudinal reaping apparatus.SOLUTION: The normal combine harvester includes the hair clipper-style longitudinal reaping apparatus 7, in which a cutting action line CL connecting cutting action parts by a cutting blade becomes a standing position along a vertical direction, arranged at a traverse edge position in the reaping action zone of a main reaping apparatus 63 for reaping standing culms in a horizontal position along a horizontal direction. A reel type raking apparatus 64 and the longitudinal reaping apparatus 7 are installed so that a culm sending direction by the reel type raking apparatus 64 is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the cutting action line CL of the longitudinal reaping apparatus 7 on the side view of a machine body.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】刈取対象の茎稈と未刈側の茎稈との間における絡み付き茎稈を切断する縦向き刈取装置を備え、その縦向き刈取装置での切断が良好に行われ易い普通型コンバインを提供する。【解決手段】水平方向に沿う横向き姿勢で植立茎稈を刈り取る主刈取装置63の刈取作用域における横側端部位置に、刈刃による切断作用箇所を結ぶ切断作用線CLが上下方向に沿う起立姿勢となるバリカン型の縦向き刈取装置7を設け、リール式掻き込み装置64と縦向き刈取装置7とを、リール式掻き込み装置64による茎稈送り込み方向が機体側方視で縦向き刈取装置7の切断作用線CLと直交、又はほぼ直交するように配設してある。【選択図】図16
