PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combine harvester which can automatically perform a corner-reaping work to reduce the operation loads of an operator, when the corner-reaping workpiece of the combine harvester for reaping un-reaped grain culms at a corner part of a field is performed, i.e. can perform the smooth corner reaping workpiece and improve workability at the corner part of the field regardless of the operation skill of the operator.SOLUTION: The combine harvester 1 includes a start button 153 (corner reaping operation means) which is a means for performing an automatic corner reaping mode as a mode for automatically performing the corner reaping of a field and is connected to a controller 200, and the controller 200 in the automatic corner reaping mode controls to perform workpiece operations for lifting a reaping part 4, backward moving a machine frame in a prescribed distance, stopping the machine frame, lowering the reaping part 4, revolving the machine frame by a prescribed angle, reaping and simultaneously forward moving the machine frame in a prescribed distance, and then stopping the machine frame, for prescribed times.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】圃場の隅部で未刈穀稈を刈り取るコンバインの隅刈作業を行う場合、隅刈作業を自動的に行うことを可能として、操縦者の操作負担を軽減する。すなわち操縦者の操作技術に拘らず円滑な隅刈作業を行うことを可能とし、圃場の隅部での作業性を向上することが可能なコンバインを提供する。【解決手段】コンバイン1において、圃場の隅刈りを自動的に行うモードである自動隅刈りモードを実行する手段であって、制御装置200と接続されるスタートボタン153(隅刈り操作手段)を備え、自動隅刈りモードにおいて制御装置200は、刈取部4を上昇させてから、機体を所定距離後進させて停止させ、刈取部4を下降させてから、機体を所定角度旋回させて刈り取りしながら所定距離前進させて停止させる作業動作を、設定回数行うように制御する。【選択図】図4
