ABSTRACT:
A lateral flotation mechanism for the header on a combine harvester is disclosed wherein a pair of springs provide a counterbalancing force to stabilize the pivotal movement of the header about a centrally disposed pivot from externally imposed loads. After the external load is removed from the header, the springs effect a rotation of the header about the center pivot to return the header to a predetermined stabilized position. The compression of the springs is adjustable to pre-load the springs and compensate for any imbalance in the header.
