Abstract

An arrangement for switching over a combine harvester between swath deposit operation and wide distribution operation comprises a front element and a rear element which follows downstream. The rear element may be attached in an articulated fashion, in an inherently rigid fashion, at its upstream end about a first pivoting axis and may be moved between a swath deposit position and a wide distribution position by an adjustment drive. The front element may be attached in an articulated fashion at its upstream end about a second pivoting axis, may be inherently rigid and may also be coupled to the adjustment drive.
