Concept and design of the transport cover for the harvesting unit of a self-propelled forage harvester

This paper presents a conceptual model of a transport cover for a grain maize harvesting attachment. To develop a model of the cover structure, a dimensional base in the form of a harvesting unit was required, to which the designed transport cover was referred. The existing Dominoni SL 978 harvest unit was used as a dimensional base, and a model of the design base was created, accounting for the most important dimensions. The conceptual model was adapted to the design base, taking into account the design assumptions, resulting in a model of a transport cover. To mount the cover to the attachment, a dedicated hooking system has been designed.
