PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enlarge the volume of a grain storage apparatus, to improve efficiency of reaping and threshing operation with a combine harvester, to reduce lifting of the gravity position of the machine body of the combine harvester and to perform stable operation and traveling even when the amount of the stored grains in the grain storage apparatus is increased.SOLUTION: The combine harvester is composed by installing a threshing apparatus (5) on one side of the machine body having a traveling apparatus (1), the grain storage apparatus (4) on the transverse side of the threshing apparatus (5) and further a maneuvering part (3) on the front side of the grain storage apparatus (4). The rear of the grain storage apparatus (4) is composed so as to detour from the front side to the outside of a grain elevating part (44) of a grain unloading apparatus (43) installed on the depth side of the machine body from the rear of the grain storage apparatus (4) and bulge to a position overlapping with a waste straw treating apparatus (7) provided on the rear side of the threshing apparatus (5) when viewed from the side.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】穀粒貯留装置の容積を拡大してコンバインによる刈取脱穀作業の能率を向上させると共に、該穀粒貯留装置内の貯留穀粒量が増加しても、コンバインの機体の重心位置の上昇を少なくして安定した作業走行を行なうことができるものとする。【解決手段】走行装置(1)を有する機体の一側に脱穀装置(5)を設け、該脱穀装置(5)の横側に穀粒貯留装置(4)を設け、該穀粒貯留装置(4)の前側に操縦部(3)を設けてコンバインを構成する。そして、前記穀粒貯留装置(4)の後部を、該穀粒貯留装置(4)の後部よりも機体奥側に設置した穀粒排出装置(43)の揚穀部(44)の前側から外側を迂回して脱穀装置(5)の後側に設けた排藁処理装置(7)に対して側面視で重合する位置まで膨出させて構成する。【選択図】図3
