ABSTRACT:
A swather including at least a front swather head and one side swather head having mountings for mounting the front head on a tractor for support by the front of the tractor and for mounting the side head in a manner to permit the rear of the tractor to support at least the inner end of the side swather head. The mountings are such that they permit the heads to be adjusted to a number of different travel modes. In one mode of travel, the side head can be moved to a position trailing the tractor and the front head is carried in a raised position at the front of the tractor. The movement of the side head can be accomplished from within a cab of the tractor. Another mode of transport is possible by providing a mechanism for demounting and carrying the front head. For this mode the side head is moved to the trailing position as just described, and the front head is pulled lengthwise behind the side head. In yet another mode of transport, the side head is also readily demountable from the tractor and carried on a separate device so that both heads can be pulled one behind the other by a road vehicle, such as a truck.
