Abstract:
A swather with a crop cutting header includes a swath roller for rolling on the swath carried on a mounting assembly attached to the tractor frame and a lifting assembly for lifting the roller free from the swath where a control unit is arranged to lift the swath roller to the raised position thereof when the header is raised to the raised position thereof. The control unit also includes a GPS position sensing system so that the roller is lifted at positions determined by the GPS position sensing system. The mounting assembly comprises a mounting frame rigidly attached to the rear walking beam of the tractor so that the mounting frame is held at a set position relative to the tractor determined by a position of the beam so that the swath roller is not pivotally mounted relative to the tractor.

Claim (Index 21):
An agricultural tractor comprising:\n a tractor frame having a cab; a header mounted on support members at a forward end of the frame to be moved in a longitudinal working direction across the ground; the header being arranged in a working position to cut a standing crop and to form a swath of the crop for deposit on the ground behind the tractor; a first pair of ground wheels mounted on the frame at positions spaced transversely of the frame adjacent the forward end for supporting the tractor adjacent the header; a second pair of ground wheels mounted on the frame at positions spaced transversely of the frame adjacent a rearward end of the tractor and spaced to allow the passage of the swath between the second pair of wheels; a swath compression member for compressing the swath; a mounting assembly for attaching the swath compression member to the tractor for forward movement with the tractor; a lifting assembly for lifting the swath compression member upward from the swath so that in a raised position the swath compression member is free from the swath for passage over the swath; wherein the tractor includes a control unit for controlling lifting of the header from the working position to a raised position thereof; and wherein the control unit is arranged to automatically operate the lifting assembly to lift the swath compression member to the raised position thereof in response to the header being raised to the raised position thereof.
