PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reaping harvester having a reaping portion liftably connected to the travel machine frame at a lifted non-working height or a lowered working height, and having a reaping clutch for switching-in or out transmission to the reaping portion, and a travel speed change device for speed change-driving the travel device of the travel machine frame, which can efficiently perform works in simple operations, when a working form for performing moving travels is adapted to perform the works.SOLUTION: The reaping harvester has a connection means 71 for connecting the reaping clutch 17 to the travel speed change device 7. The connection means 71 makes the travel speed change device 7 to reduce the speed from a set high speed position by an operation for switching the reaping clutch 17 into a switch-in state.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、刈取部に対する伝動を入り切りする刈取クラッチ、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】刈取クラッチ17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、刈取クラッチ17を入り状態に切り換え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させる。【選択図】図3
