PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combine harvester in which other parts are easily installed and work for opening a harvesting section can be performed efficiently.SOLUTION: A combine harvester 100 is configured so that power from an engine 9 is changed in speed by a transmission 41 and the power having been changed in speed is transmitted to a harvesting first shaft 53 of a harvesting section 3 through a torque limiter 56. The harvesting section 3 can be opened by being rotated to the left and right in the horizontal direction. A power transmitting second gear 86 and a harvesting input gear 96 are provided to the output side of the torque limiter 56 and the other side of the harvesting first shaft 53, respectively, to mesh with each other. When the harvesting section 3 is opened, the power transmitting second gear 86 of the torque limiter 56 and the harvesting input gear 96 of the harvesting first shaft 53 are separated from each other.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】他の部品を配置しやすく、刈取部をオープンする際の作業が効率よく行えるコンバインを提供する。【解決手段】エンジン9からの動力をトランスミッション41で変速し、変速後の動力をトルクリミッタ56を介して刈取部3の刈取第一軸53に伝えるコンバイン100であって、刈取部3は、左右水平方向に回動して開放可能とし、トルクリミッタ56の出力側及び刈取第一軸53の他側にそれぞれ動力伝達第二ギヤ86及び刈取入力ギヤ96を設けて歯合させ、刈取部3の開放時には、トルクリミッタ56の動力伝達第二ギヤ86と刈取第一軸53の刈取入力ギヤ96を離間させる。【選択図】図3
