PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deterioration of transporting posture in delivering harvested culms from a take-over and transporting device to a supplying and transporting device.SOLUTION: The take-over and transporting device 25 has a take-over chain 30 installed in the inside of a grain culm supplying and transporting device 17 as almost in parallel to a supplying and transporting chain 19 in plan view, driven synchronized with a transporting speed of a transporting device H of a reaping device 4, and taking-over grain culms from the transporting device H. The front end of the take-over chain 30 locates on the front side of the front end of the supplying and transporting chain 19, and including a vertical plate guide member 32 on the outside of the supplying and transporting chain 19 on the front side of nipping start part of a holding rod 18. The guide member 32 locates above a movement locus of the supplying and transporting chain 19 on a whole or a part of a portion from an intermediate of the front end of the supplying and transporting chain 19 and the hold starting end of the holding rod 18 to the holding start end of the holding rod 18.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】引継搬送装置から供給搬送装置への受け渡し時の搬送姿勢が悪化する。【解決手段】穀稈供給搬送装置17の内側には供給搬送チェン19と平面視略平行で刈取装置4の搬送装置Hの搬送速度に同調して駆動され搬送装置Hから穀稈を引き継ぐ引継チェン30を有する引継搬送装置25を設ける。引継チェン30の前端部は供給搬送チェン19の前端部より前側とし挾扼杆18の挾持始端部よりも前側の供給搬送チェン19の外側には縦板状のガイド部材32を設ける。ガイド部材32は供給搬送チェン19の前端部と挾扼杆18の挾持始端部との間の中間部から挾扼杆18の挾持始端部の間の一部または全部において、供給搬送チェン19の移動軌跡より上方に位置させる。【選択図】図5
