PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combine harvester in which a grain tank is disposed in a state capable of being lifted or lowered into a swung-lowered posture or a swung-lifted posture around a lifting or lowering axis above a thresher, and which can widely open the thresher in a simple operation.SOLUTION: In a combine harvester, the ceiling plate 16 of a thresher 10 is supported in a state capable of being swung-opened or closed into a swung-lifted opened posture or a swung-lowered closed posture around an opening or closing axis X parallel or approximately parallel to the lifting or lowering axis Y of a grain tank 20.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】穀粒タンクを、脱穀装置の上方に揺動下降した下降姿勢と下降姿勢から揺動上昇した上昇姿勢とに昇降軸芯まわりに揺動昇降自在に設けたコンバインでありながら、脱穀装置を操作簡単に広く開放できるようにする。【解決手段】脱穀装置10の天板16を、揺動上昇した開き姿勢と揺動下降した閉じ姿勢とに穀粒タンク20の昇降軸芯Yと平行又はほぼ平行な開閉軸芯Xまわりに揺動開閉自在に支持してある。【選択図】図7
