PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crop harvester which discharges leaf parts to a field along with the travel of a machine, but which can perform a harvesting operation excellently without being inhibited by the discharged leaf parts.SOLUTION: The crop harvester includes: a pulling part 6, located in one end side of a machine width direction, that pulls out crops from the field along with the travel of the machine and conveys them to a machine backward a leaf part cutting part 7 that cuts leaf parts of the crops conveyed to the backward by the pulling part 6 to separate from the crops and a crop conveying part 8 that conveys the crops from which the leaf parts are cut to the other end side of the machine width direction. A leaf part conveyor 21 is also provided for conveying the leaf parts cut in the leaf part cutting part 7 to the other end side of the machine width direction to discharge outside the machine.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】機体の走行に伴って葉部を圃場に排出させるものでありながら、排出された葉部によって阻害されることなく収穫作業を良好に行うことが可能となる作物収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】機体横幅方向の一端側に位置して機体の走行に伴って圃場から作物を引き抜いて機体後方に搬送する引き抜き部6と、引き抜き部6にて後方に搬送される作物の葉部を切断して作物と分離する葉部切断部7と、葉部が切断された作物を機体横幅方向の他端側に搬送する作物搬送部8とが備えられ、葉部切断部7にて切断された葉部を機体横幅方向の他端側に搬送して機外に排出する葉部搬送装置21が備えられる。【選択図】図2
