I found the same info as Steffen for the Maisfinger.

Here are to possibilities for " Pflichtenheft"

Mögliche Auftragnehmer erstellen auf Grundlage des Lastenheftes ein Pflichtenheft, welches in konkreterer Form beschreibt, wie der Auftragnehmer die Anforderungen im Lastenheft zu lösen gedenkt.

Maybe this refers to the mechanism that drives the the moving fingers ("teeth") of the harvester? I found this "How stuff works" topic with pictures, maybe this will helpful:

Steffen, I think you are correct. The beginning had so many words relating to transmission that I assumed it may have been related to a car or similar vehicle but later it states, "Die Firma entwickelt eine neue Ernteeinheit für Mais- und Sonnenblumenpflanzen. Unter Anderem soll auch der Maisfinger, welcher die eigentliche Ernteeinrichtung darstellt, überarbeitet werden."

Is this about agricultural machinery? See Google search for "Maisfinger" and "Antrieb" ("Horsch Maistro") --> http://www.horsch2.com/
