PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crop harvester comprising first transport bodies, a second transport body, and a separation part, capable of stably holding and transporting crops by right and left first transport bodies.SOLUTION: A crop harvester comprises: right and left first transport bodies 11 for holding from right and left sides, crops A in a field and lifting the crops from the field, maintaining postures of the crops A to a standing posture, and transporting the same to an obliquely upper rear side； a second transport body 12 for holding roots A1 of the crops A in a falling down sideways posture and transporting the same to a rear side. The crop harvester further comprises a posture change part 62 for changing postures of crops A from a transport terminal of the first transport bodies 11 to a falling down sideways posture at which, a fruit of the crop A is closer to the separation part 5 relative to the root A1 of the crop A, and the root A1 of the crop A whose posture is changed to a falling down sideways posture is held by the second transport body 12.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】第１搬送体及び第２搬送体、分離部が備えられた作物収穫機において、右及び左の第１搬送体による作物の挟持及び搬送が安定して行われるようにする。【解決手段】圃場の作物Ａを右側及び左側から挟持して圃場から持ち上げ、持ち上げた作物Ａを起立姿勢に維持しながら斜め上側の後側に搬送する右及び左の第１搬送体１１と、横倒れ姿勢の作物Ａの株元Ａ１を保持して後側に搬送する第２搬送体１２とを備える。第１搬送体１１の搬送終端部からの作物Ａを、作物Ａの実が付いている部分が作物Ａの株元Ａ１に対して分離部５に近い側となる横倒れ姿勢に姿勢変更して、横倒れ姿勢に姿勢変更された作物Ａの株元Ａ１が、第２搬送体１２に保持されるようにする姿勢変更部６２を備える。【選択図】図９
