HARVESTING HEADER TRANSPORT SYSTEM AND METHOD 5 Abstract A transport system for transport of a harvesting header comprises separate front and rear carriers in a configuration that permits a single person to prepare a harvesting header for transport. The wheeled front carrier engages a support member attached to one end of the 10 harvesting header and includes a towing member and means of connecting the front carrier to a towing vehicle. A wheeled rear carrier comprises deployable straps that can be attached to the harvesting header. A winch applies tension to the straps and on retraction pulls the rear carrier up and into position underneath the header. The harvesting header is then lowered to transfer the weight to the carriers and the header 15 then disconnected from the combine, and is ready for transport. 7ttz~ ,1 I 44 C o r 4 / ?$S~\ 6 0. in! 4: 4' ri Ct ~" ~s~:x Y.i 4 4 4 fl "<~ ' -~ p / K I ~Q, -4' rr~ \ ff1 I t '~' ~
