PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combine harvester by which delivering performance is improved when delivering grain culms after reaping to a feed chain by a delivering and conveying device.SOLUTION: The combine harvester 1 is equipped with the delivering and conveying device 70 for delivering the grain culms after the reaping to the feed chain 50. The delivering and conveying device 70 is parallelly installed with the feed chain 50 along the conveying direction of the feed chain 50 so that the conveyance-starting terminal part 70a of the delivering and conveying device 70 may be positioned at the front side of the conveyance-starting terminal part 50a of the feed chain 50, and the conveyance-finishing terminal part 70b of the delivering and conveying device 70 may be positioned at the rear side of the conveyance-starting terminal part 50a of the feed chain 50. A transmission mechanism 80 is installed in the side of the feed chain 50 in the feed chain 50 and the delivering and conveying device 70, and between the conveyance-starting terminal part 50a of the feed chain 50 and the conveyance-finishing terminal part 70b of the delivering and conveying device 70 and the power of the feed chain 50 driven so as to be synchronized with the traveling speed is transmitted to the conveyance-finishing terminal part 70b of the delivering and conveying device 70 by the transmission mechanism 80.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】刈取後の穀稈を受継搬送装置によりフィードチェンに受け継がせる際の受継性能を向上させることができるコンバインを提供する。【解決手段】刈取後の穀稈をフィードチェン50に受け継がせる受継搬送装置70を具備し、受継搬送装置70の搬送始端部70aがフィードチェン50の搬送始端部50aよりも前方に位置し、受継搬送装置70の搬送終端部70bがフィードチェン50の搬送始端部50aよりも後方に位置するように、受継搬送装置70を、フィードチェン50の搬送方向に沿ってフィードチェン50と並設し、フィードチェン50と受継搬送装置70のうちのフィードチェン50側であって、フィードチェン50の搬送始端部50aと受継搬送装置70の搬送終端部70bとの間に伝動機構80を設けて、走行速度と同調して駆動するフィードチェン50の動力を伝動機構80により受継搬送装置70の搬送終端部70bに伝動するコンバイン1である。【選択図】図6
