PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that, when receiving a force in the lateral direction, a conventional height detector of a reaping device is rotated around a shaft in the front-back direction so as to prevent breakage thereof, and thereby, an installation attitude of a contact body is changed, and accuracy of height detection becomes unstable.SOLUTION: In a reaping height detector 30, a front side part of a case 32 is attached to a bracket 35 so that a lateral shaft can be turned freely by a first shaft 33. A base part of a contact body 50 is attached turnably on a second shaft 46 of a rear part of the case 32. In a combine harvester, the bracket 35 includes a deformation part 37 deformed elastically by a force received from the outside of the machine.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の刈取装置の高さ検出装置は、横方向の力を受けると、前後方向の軸回りに回転して破損防止を図っており、接触体の設置姿勢が変化し、高さ検出の精度が不安定となるという課題がある。【解決手段】刈高さ検出装置30は、ケース32の前側部分を、第一軸33によりブラケット35に横軸回動自在に取付ける。ケース32の後部の第二軸46に接触体50の基部を回動自在に取付ける。ブラケット35は機外から受ける力により弾性変形する変形部37を備えたコンバイン。【選択図】図6
