PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a general-purpose combine harvester with which an operator can easily get on and off a threshing part.SOLUTION: A general-purpose combine harvester comprises: a reaping part 9 which reaps grain culm a transportation part 10 which transports the grain culm reaped by the reaping part 9, a threshing part 17 which threshes the grain culm transported by the transportation part 10 and a ladder 31 for moving up and down the threshing part, which is provided in an outside position of the transportation part 10 and a front position of the threshing part 17. The ladder 31 comprises a pair of front and rear longitudinal crosspiece members 32, 33 and a plurality of lateral crosspiece members 34, 35 which are horizontally bridged between both of the longitudinal crosspiece members 32, 33 in a vertical direction at intervals. The longitudinal crosspiece members 32, 33 are extended above a step part S which is formed on an outside part of an upper surface of the threshing part 17. The lateral crosspiece member 35 above the step part S is placed inside in a lateral direction of the harvester body to the lateral crosspiece member 34 below the step part S.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、作業者が脱穀部上に楽に乗降できる汎用コンバインを提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】穀稈を刈取る刈取部9と、刈取部9で刈取られた穀稈を搬送する搬送部10と、搬送部10で搬送された穀稈を脱穀する脱穀部17とを備えると共に、搬送部10の外側方位置で且つ脱穀部17の前方位置に脱穀部昇降用の梯子31を備えた汎用コンバインにおいて、梯子31を、前後一対の縦桟部材32,33と、両縦桟部材32,33間に上下方向に間隔を置いて横架した複数の横桟部材34,35とで構成するとともに、脱穀部17上面の外側部分に形成されたステップ部Sより上方まで縦桟部材32,33を延設し、ステップ部Sより上方にある横桟部材35を、ステップ部Sより下方にある横桟部材34に対して機体の左右方向において内側に配置した。【選択図】図3
