PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digging harvester having a balanced machine body and enabling the digging work and separation work of crops in high efficiency.SOLUTION: The crop separating harvester is provided with a traveling apparatus B to travel on a field, a digging and transporting apparatus D to dig up the crop T from the field and transport backward, a first separation apparatus E to separate the crop T during the transportation with the digging and transporting apparatus D, a second separation apparatus G to separate the crop T which is not separated by the first separation apparatus E, and a separating and transporting apparatus F receiving the separated crop T from the digging and transporting apparatus D and selectively transporting to the back of the machine body. The crop separating harvester is further provided with a first driving device 2 placed at the back and the right or left side of the machine body and supplying driving force to the traveling apparatus B, the second separation apparatus G and the lifting member 68 of the digging and transporting apparatus D, and a second driving device 9 placed in front of the machine body at a side opposite to the first driving device and supplying driving force to the digging and transporting apparatus D, the first separation apparatus E and the separating and transporting apparatus F.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】機体のバランスがよく、作物の掘取作業や分離作業を能率よく行うことのできる掘取収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】圃場を走行する走行装置Bと、圃場から作物Tを掘り取り機体後方へと搬送する掘取搬送装置Dと、掘取搬送装置Dで搬送中の作物Tを分離する第1分離装置Eと、第1分離装置Eで分離されなかった作物Tを分離する第2分離装置Gと、掘取搬送装置Dから分離された作物T引き継ぎ機体後方へと選別搬送する選別搬送装置Fとを設けた作物分離収穫機において、機体後側で且つ機体左右一側に走行装置Bと第2分離装置Gと掘取搬送装置Dの昇降部材68とに駆動力を供給する第1駆動装置2を設けると共に、機体前側で且つ機体左右他側に掘取搬送装置Dと第1分離装置Eと選別搬送装置Fとに駆動力を供給する第2駆動装置9を設けて構成する。【選択図】 図4
