Zusammenfassung:Abstract A method of attaching and aligning a conveyor belt frame onto an agricultural machine. The design described herein provides an innovative way to use agricultural draper type conveyor belt normally used on swathing and the input side of broad hectare crop harvesting machinery. It is used in the manner here detailed, to transfer crop residue from the exit area of a combine harvester into a towed receptacle The entire device is a unit made up of one long and one short conveyor frame and draper belts, located in such a way as to fill a towed receptacle when powered by the towing machine. The two belts entailed rotate around roller type pulleys mounted at each end of a suitable frame. The innovation is in the manner of attachment of the two conveyors in relation to each other and to the towing machine. The short conveyor frame with belt attached can be rotated in a time efficient manner from the working position to a position suitable for transport. This is achieved by rotating the said short conveyor upward and rearward from the working position around a fixed fulcrum located on the lower end of the sloping long conveyor, achieving a location suited to transport when not attached to the towing machine.
