PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crop excavating harvester configured to independently move a starting end and a terminal end of an excavating/conveying device in the vertical direction, and capable of setting an optimum posture of excavating crops and optimum distance of dropping of crops for working conditions at the same time.SOLUTION: The crop excavating harvester includes: travelling devices 12L and 12R which travel on a field the excavating/conveying device 30 for excavating crops from the field and conveying the excavated crops rearward a first lifting member 37 for moving a conveyance starting end side of the excavating/conveying device 30 in the vertical direction and a setting member 69 for setting a storage member 70 for storing the crops discharged from a conveyance terminal end of the excavating/conveying device 30. In the crop excavating harvester, the conveyance terminal end side of the excavating/conveying device 30 can be freely moved in the vertical direction. The crop excavating harvester also includes a second lifting member 39 for moving the conveying terminal end side of the excavating/conveying device 30 in the vertical direction. The first lifting member 37 for moving the conveyance starting end side is disposed below a sorting/conveying device 30, and the second lifting member 39 for moving the conveyance terminal end side is disposed above the sorting/conveying device 30.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】掘取搬送装置の始端側と終端側を別々に上下動可能に構成し、作物の掘取姿勢と作物の落下距離を同時に作業条件に最適な設定にすることができる作物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12L,12Rを設け、圃場から作物を掘り取り後方へ搬送する掘取搬送装置30を設け、掘取搬送装置30の搬送始端側を上下動させる第1昇降部材37を設け、掘取搬送装置30の搬送終端部から排出される作物を収容する収容部材70を設置する設置部材69を設けた作物掘取収穫機において、掘取搬送装置30の搬送終端側を上下動自在に構成し、掘取搬送装置30の搬送終端側を上下動させる第2昇降部材39を設けるとともに、選別搬送装置30の下方に搬送始端側を上下動させる第1昇降部材37を設け、選別搬送装置30の上方に搬送終端側を上下動させる第2昇降部材39を設けて構成する。【選択図】 図1
