摘要:
A finger (48) for a crop gathering auger (34) of a grain header (24) for an agricultural combine (20), a forage harvester, or the like, the finger (48) including a resilient elastomeric retainer retractor (66/84/96) which spans a failure region (56) of the finger (48) and will retain a free end (54) of the finger (48) in connection with a mounting end (52) thereof when the failure region (56) is broken, and which is configured and operable for automatically retracting the broken off free end (54) into an auger drum (36) and retaining it therein during subsequent rotation of the drum (36) for limiting potential damage from the broken end and preventing entry of the broken end into crop handling equipment of the combine (20) or other machine.
摘要:
An agricultural baler (10)comprises a chamber (14) for forming therein cylindrical bales of crop material and a pick-up (12) for picking up crop material from a field and feeding it to said bale forming chamber (14). A dispensing mechanism (20) is provided for dispensing sheet-like wrapping material, e.g., stretch film, from a roll (32) to said chamber (14) and comprises components (34-40, 48) that have surfaces that contact said wrapping material during the wrapping process. Each of said contact surfaces has low wettability characteristics to thereby reduce the risk of said wrapping material adhering to said surfaces.
