1. A self-propelled harvesting machine, comprising an axle;a front attachment;a lifting device for a front attachment;a hydropneumatic dampering system;at least one crawler track assembly connected to the hydropneumatic dampering system and formed by a crawler track disposed on said axle and on either side of the axle,wherein the hydropneumatic dampering system controls an amount of spring travel of the crawler track and wherein a height of the harvesting machine varies by the amount of the spring travel, andwherein the spring travel of each respective trawler track is changeable independently using an operating device. 2. The harvesting machine as defined in claim 1, further comprising a sensor system and a regulating and control device detecting a tilt of the harvesting machine relative to a ground and, depending on an inclination, varying the spring travel of the hydropneumatic crawler tracks by activating actuators in the hydropneumatic dampening system. 3. The harvesting machine as defined in claim 1, wherein said hydropneumatic crawler track assembly is transferable into an outer final position depending on an operating state of the harvesting machine under control of the hydropneumatic damping system. 4. The harvesting machine as defined in claim 3, wherein in the operating state in which the harvesting machine is located in a raising or lowering position in which said front attachment is raiseable or lowerable by said lifting device, said crawler track assembly is situated in an outer final position under control of the hydropneumatic damping system. 5. The harvesting machine as defined in claim 4, further comprising an operating device connected to the hydropneumatic dampening system that provides control for moving the crawler track assembly into the outer final position initiated in a manner selected from the group consisting of automatically or manually. 6. The harvesting machine as defined in claim 5, wherein said crawler track assembly is automatically moved to the outer final position when said operating device receives a sensor signal indicating that a final position of said lifting device is reached. 7. The harvesting machine as defined in claim 5, wherein said crawler track assembly is moved to the outer final position when an operator detects that a final position of said lifting device is reached and provides a manual input to said operating device indicative of same.
