ABSTRACT:
A header for crop harvesting machine includes a transport arrangement towing the header in a direction at right angles to its normal working direction. The transport system includes a first wheel at one end of the header which can be steered by a hitch pole connected to the first wheel. A second wheel is located symmetrically relative to the first wheel at the opposite end of the header and is free to caster. In the normal working position of the header the first and second wheels act as gauge wheels and are left in the direction of working movement. A third wheel which is removed in the working position is attached to the cutter bar by a clamping action over the knife guard and behind the knife support plate at a respective one of the forwardly extending support arms of the header frame. The hitch includes two portions which can relatively pivoted so as to reduce the effective length of the hitch thus allowing the tractor to back up to a position closer to the header than the effective length of the hitch and allowing the hitch to be pivoted for connection.
