The invention provides a crawler-type intelligent drive corn harvester. The crawler-type intelligent drive corn harvester comprises a walking device, a header, a lift conveyer, a peeling device, a smashing device, a power assembly and a control system. The power assembly comprises an engine, a hydraulic pump, electro-hydraulic control valves and hydraulic motors, the control system comprises a programmable logic controller, an operating handle and a touch screen, and the programmable logic controller controls the electro-hydraulic control valves corresponding to all harvesting functional components to control the hydraulic motors corresponding to the functional components to operate, so that all the harvesting functional components operate individually, and the purposes of reasonably arranging, reducing the overall size and facilitating automatic control are achieved. In addition, as the header, the lift conveyor, the walking device and a safety auxiliary system are improved, the crawler-type intelligent drive corn harvester has the advantages of being reasonable and compact in layout, high in automation degree and passage capacity, large in load capacity, high in reliability, wide in operation range, small in harvest loss ratio, high in safety performance and long in service life.
