PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently and simply carry out an operation in adopting an operation form of performing movement and travel and doing an operation in a reaping harvester that has a reaping section connected to a traveling machine to be freely raised and lowered to a raised non-operation height and a lowered operation height and includes a traveling transmission for driving the traveling unit of the traveling machine at variable speeds.SOLUTION: The reaping harvester includes connection means 71 for connecting the reaping section to the traveling transmission 7. The connection means 71 decelerates and operates the traveling transmission 7 from a set high-speed position by operating the reaping section to a drop operation height.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】走行機体に刈取部が上昇非作業高さと下降作業高さとに昇降操作自在に連結され、走行機体の走行装置を変速駆動する走行変速装置を備えた刈取収穫機において、移動走行を行なう作業形態を採用して作業を行うに当たり、能率よくかつ操作簡単に行なうことができるようにする。【解決手段】刈取部と走行変速装置7とを連係させた連係手段71を備えてある。連係手段71は、刈取部を下降作業高さに下げる操作によって走行変速装置7を設定高速位置から減速操作する。【選択図】図3
