A swather, or windrower, is a farm implement that cuts hay or small grain crops and forms them into a windrow. "Swather" is predominantly the North American term for these machines. In Australia and other parts of the world, they are called "windrowers". They aid harvesting by speeding up the process of drying the crop down to a moisture content suitable for harvesting and storage.
Team comprising a swather and a baler, as well as a method for operating the team
The invention relates to a combination (1) with a swather (10) and a baler (20) as processing equipment, wherein the baler (20) has a baler frame (21), a baler chassis (24) connected thereto at least indirectly, and a baler coupling device (23), and wherein the swather (10) has a swather frame (11), a swather chassis (16) connected thereto at least indirectly, and a rear coupling device (12) arranged on the rear side of the swather frame (11) with respect to a longitudinal axis (X) and a rear coupling point (B) to which the baler coupling device (23) can be pivotally coupled and transmit tension and compression forces, whereby the baler (20) can be partially supported on the swather frame (11).To improve the driving characteristics of a combination with a swather and a following baler, the invention provides that a load transfer element (18) is configured to exert a transfer torque acting between the swather frame (11) and the baler (20) with respect to the rear coupling point (B), by which a baler axle load (F. P ) the baler (20) can be reduced by increasing the swather axle load (Fs) of the swather (10).
