PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To raise the efficiency of reaping operation by providing a reaping width for 7 rows, and to simplify a transmission mechanism of the reaping apparatus.SOLUTION: A raking wheel body (53) for each of 7 grain culm introduction routes (44) is provided, and an ear tip transporting apparatus (200) having a transporting route ranging from the upper side of a first plant foot transporting chain (59) operatively connected to a first raking wheel body (53a) on the rightmost side therein to the upper side of a taking over transporting apparatus (67) is divided in the front and rear for the first ear tip transporting apparatus (200a) on the front side and the second ear tip transporting apparatus (200b) on the rear side and installed. Thereby, the transporting starting end of the second ear tip transporting apparatus (200b) is superimposed on the upper side of the transporting terminal end of the first ear tip transporting apparatus (200a) and disposed therein. Furthermore, the transporting starting end of the second ear tip transporting apparatus (200b) and the transporting terminal end of the first ear tip transporting apparatus (200a) are supported on an output part (201) for a first driving sprocket (58) in a reaping supporting frame (25).COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】7条分の刈幅を備えて刈取作業の能率を高めると共に、この刈取装置の伝動機構を簡素化する。【解決手段】7つの穀稈導入経路(44)ごと掻込輪体(53)を設け、このうちの最も右側の第1掻込輪体(53a)に連動する第1株元搬送チェン(59)の上側から引継搬送装置(67)の上側に亘る搬送経路を有した穂先搬送装置(200)を、前側の第1穂先搬送装置(200a)と後側の第2穂先搬送装置(200b)とに前後に分割して設け、該第2穂先搬送装置(200b)の搬送始端部を第1穂先搬送装置(200a)の搬送終端部の上側に重合させて配置する。また、第2穂先搬送装置(200b)の搬送始端部と第1穂先搬送装置(200a)の搬送終端部とを、刈取支持フレーム(25)における第1駆動スプロケット(58)への出力部(201)に支持させる。【選択図】 図14
