ABSTRACT A self-propelled swather having a tractor unit with a central cutting head and two side cutting heads, one each being disposed on either side of the tractor unit and having the inner ends thereof behind and aligned with the outer ends of the central head. The central head is carried solely by the tractor while the side heads are carried at their inner ends by the tractor unit and at their outer ends by caster wheels. A pivot connection is provided between the inner ends of the side heads and the tractor unit so that the heads can swing from the work position to a transport position wherein the front cutting edges of the side heads are substantially parallel to the direction of travel of the tractor. Thus, the swather is readily maneuverable in the transport position and in width is only a fraction of the swather in its work position. The cutting height of the individual heads may be separately adjustable, and a separate drive is provided to the knives, reels and conveyors of each head.
