PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mowing operation machine in which a mowing operation part can be operated easily from a drivers seat of a tractor.SOLUTION: The operation of an offset mechanism section and a turn mechanism section is performed by the operation of a joystick lever 861 provided for a tractor drivers seat vicinity in the mowing operation machine. Moreover, a restraint means is provided such that a mowing operation part 5 can move to a tractor backward position only by being at a constant angle range including the horizontal state to a mounting part 2. In addition, the mowing operation machine includes: an automatic storage switch 862 and a controller in which the mowing operation part 5 automatically turns to a horizontal position when the automatic storage switch 862 is operated, and which horizontally moves the mowing operation part 5 to the storage position of a tractor backward.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】トラクタの運転席から容易に草刈作業部を操作可能とした草刈作業機を提供する。【解決手段】草刈作業機において、オフセット機構部と回動機構部の作動は、トラクタ運転席近傍に設けたジョイスティックレバー861の操作によって行われる。また、草刈作業部5が装着部2に対し水平状態を含む一定の角度範囲のときのみトラクタ後方位置へ移動可能に牽制手段が設けられている。さらに、自動収納スイッチ862を備え、自動収納スイッチ862を操作すると自動的に草刈作業部5が水平位置に回動するとともに、トラクタ後方の収納位置へ水平移動する制御部を備えた草刈作業機による。【選択図】 図2
