Claim 11:
12. A harvesting apparatus (10), namely merger or pickup swather,
with pickup members (18) designed as pickups for picking up harvested crop,
with at least one transverse conveyor device (19) designed as belt conveyor for conveying the picked-up harvested crop in a transverse conveying direction running transversely with respect to a harvesting direction or direction of travel,
characterized in that
each pickup member (18) designed as a pickup is mounted pivotably on a respective transverse conveyor device (19) designed as belt conveyor, namely centrally with respect to the respective pickup member (18) via a respective joint (22); and
an adjustment kinematics system (25) interacts with each pickup member (18) in order to change a relative position between the respective pickup member (18) and feeler wheels (21) and the respective adjustment kinematics system (25) has a linearly shiftable rod (26) via which, in a first shifting direction of the rod (26), the respective pickup member (18) can be lowered, and via which, in a second opposite shifting direction of the rod (26), the respective pickup member (18) can be raised.
