Abstract
In the forward undercarriage of a self-propelled hillside combine, all components for support and control of the transverse equalizing or balance beam, are below the floor level of a forward portion of the combine's separator body. In a compact structure which maintains good access to the separator concave and stone trap, and also to the hydraulic cylinders used to control the balance beam, the leveling cylinders diverge widely from a center pivot assembly so as to provide smooth action in control of the balance beam and also to minimize bending moments in the balance beam.
