ABSTRACT:
A crop harvesting machine having mounting arms engageable with a tractor to effect a mounting of the harvester on the tractor is disclosed wherein the hydraulic cylinders used to raise the crop gathering header are double-acting cylinders operable to orient the mounting arms relative to the crop gathering header to facilitate engagement thereof with the tractor. These hydraulic cylinders are converted from double-acting cylinders to single-acting cylinders after the header is mounted on the tractor by disconnection of the hydraulic hose powering a downward movement of the header and the subsequent connection thereof to the return line for the hydraulically driven motor powering operation of the crop gathering header.
A method of mounting an implement on the tractor is also disclosed wherein the convertible hydraulic cylinders are utilized in the double-acting mode to effect an articulation of the implement frame to cause alignment thereof with the tractor before being converted into a single-acting mode for header lift purposes.
