ABSTRACT:
A height control mechanism for adjustably supporting a header mounted on a base unit of an agricultural harvesting machine. Support for the header is provided by a pivotal connection to the base unit, a plurality of ground engaging slide shoes and one or more hydraulic cylinders extending between the base unit and the header. The hydraulic cylinders are operatively associated with a compensation mechanism adapted to control the height of the header during operation.
Ground sensing members and shut-off means operably associated therewith and with the hydraulic cylinders, are provided for selectively cutting off the discharge of hydraulic pressure fluid from said hydraulic cylinders when at least one ground sensing member contacts the ground and for making the compensation mechanism fully operative.
