PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a harvester having controllability improved by decreasing the loss of straight traveling performance of the machine body even by increasing the load on a carrying part, and improved work efficiency and reduced labor load by decreasing the width of the machine body.SOLUTION: A pull-out transporting apparatus 2 and a carrying part 4 to carry crops transported by the pull-out transporting apparatus 2 are placed between the right and left traveling devices 1, 1. A take-over transporting apparatus 28 to receive the stalk and leaf part of the crop from the pull-out transporting apparatus 2 and clamp and transport the crop backward is placed at the back of the lower side of the pull-out transporting apparatus 2. The stalk and leaf part of the crop clamped and transported by the take-over transporting apparatus 28 is cut at a position lower than the clamping position of the take-over transporting apparatus 28 by a stalk and leaf cutting apparatus 40 placed at the back of the lower side of the take-over transporting apparatus 28.COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT【課題】積載部の荷重が増加しても機体の直進走行性能を損なうことが少ないものとして操作性を向上させると共に、機体の全幅をコンパクトに構成して作業能率の向上及び労働負荷の軽減を図る。【解決手段】引抜搬送装置(2)と、該引抜搬送装置(2)によって搬送された作物を積載する積載部(4)とを、左右の走行装置(1,1)の間に配置する。そして、引抜搬送装置(2)の後部下側に、該引抜搬送装置(2)から作物の茎葉部を引き継いで後方へ挟持搬送する引継搬送装置(28)を設ける。更に、該引継搬送装置(28)の後部下側に該引継搬送装置(28)によって挟持搬送されてきた作物の茎葉部を該引継搬送装置(28)による挟持位置よりも下側の位置において切断する茎葉部切断装置(40)を設ける。【選択図】図1
