AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A01D41/14 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: agricultural vehicle (2) contains the receiving housing (26) and a hinged harvesting device rotatable from a working position to transport position (30). The hinged harvesting device consists of a main section (38) and the side sections (39, 40) attached to it with an ability of rotation. The receiving housing and the hinged harvesting device are connected to each other with an adapter device (33). The adapter device is designed so that when the hinged harvesting device is turned from the working position of operation to the position of transport mode of operation, it maintains the connection of the hinged harvesting device with the receiving housing. The vehicle in its transport mode of operation draws the hinged harvesting device with the adapter device in the direction of traffic movement. Two support wheels (31) are connected with the hinged harvesting device. Each of these wheels is located on one of the side sections so that when the hinged harvesting device is turned from the working position of operation to mode the transport position of operation, these support wheels support the hinged harvesting device.

EFFECT: simplified turn of the hinged harvesting device from working position to transport position.
