In an example embodiment, a baler (10) includes a variable speed baling chamber (12). The variable speed baling chamber (12) may include a baling chamber and a variable speed drive (14). A method of baling crop material (16) includes running a baling chamber at a first speed during a bale-forming cycle and running the baling chamber (12) at a second speed during a non-bale-forming cycle, such as a bale wrapping cycle.

In an example embodiment, a continuous baler (10) includes a round baler (12) and an adjustable conveyor (90) for providing crop (16) to the round baler (12). The adjustable conveyor (90) may include a conveyor belt (92) and a controller (92) for manipulating the conveyor belts (92). In one example embodiment, the speed of the conveyor (90) is adjusted in accordance with the operation of the baler (12).

In an example embodiment, a continuous baler (10) includes a round baler (12) and a pickup conveyor (14) for providing crop to the round baler (12). The pickup conveyor (14) may include a conveyor belt (90) and a controller (70) for manipulating the conveyor belts (92). In one example embodiment, the speed of the conveyor is adjusted in accordance with the operation of the baler (12).

A harvesting header (40) operable to harvest a crop. The header has a flexible cutterbar assembly (48) extending lengthwise in a lateral direction relative to the normal direction of travel of the header. The cutterbar assembly is supported from a plurality of laterally spaced apart support arms (44,46) which are pivoted about a laterally extending axis so that the cutterbar assembly can flex along the length thereof in response to changes in terrain as the header is advanced. A pair of stops cooperate to define a variable range of angular movement of the support arms and a corresponding variable range of generally vertical movement of the flexible cutterbar assembly. A first one of the stops is configured to engage at least one of the support arms and thereby define a first upper limit of the range of angular movement, and second one of the stops is adjustably spaced from the first stop and configured to engage the at least one support arm and thereby define an adjustable second lower limit of the range of angular movement. The second can be selectively positioned in an arm-locking position, in which the at least one support arm is concurrently engaged by both stops and the cutterbar assembly is thereby generally restricted from moving vertically, and a plurality of spaced apart arm-swinging positions defining corresponding distinct ranges of angular movement for the support arms.

Directed air flow to assist the metering of seeds from a metering disk. In one embodiment, dry granular or granulized fertilizer is metered from one side of the disc and seed is metered from the opposite side of the same metering disc. The fertilizer is placed in a concentrated “pulse” approximately equal distances between seeds within a common seed furrow and/or between seed furrows to improved nutrient use efficiency by minimizing soil to fertilizer contact and subsequent chemical reactions that make applied supplemental nutrients less available to plants. Pressurized air may be utilized to assist discharge of both the seed and fertilizer from the disc meter to assure precise spacing in the soil. A cover may be placed on the meter and metering disc to recirculate air and thus minimize potential atmospheric contamination from seed coatings and fertilizer materials.

An apparatus and method to precisely meter and dispense two or more crop inputs with a common metering disc is presented to achieve proper placement in the soil relative to one another. In one embodiment, dry granular or granulized fertilizer is metered from one side of the disc and seed is metered from the opposite side of the same metering disc. The fertilizer is placed in a concentrated pulse approximately equal distances between seeds within a common seed furrow and/or between seed furrows to improved nutrient use efficiency by minimizing soil to fertilizer contact and subsequent chemical reactions that make applied supplemental nutrients less available to plants. Pressurized air may be utilized to assist discharge of both the seed and fertilizer from the disc meter to assure precise spacing in the soil.

A machine (10), such as a mobile asset, vehicle, or agricultural vehicle, includes a chassis (20), an adjustment system (100), and a wheel (40). The adjustment system replaces a conventional non-extendable leg connected between the chassis and the wheel of the machine. The adjustment system can extend and withdraw in length, such that the height of the machine

摘要:
A vehicle guidance system (10) and method for automatically adjusting an 5 amount of a user-configurable steering parameter applied to at least one steerable wheel of a vehicle. The vehicle guidance system may comprise a computing device (22) for receiving a desired angle of the steerable wheel (16), measuring the actual angle of the steerable wheel, and comparing the actual angle with the desired angle. The computing device may then decrease the user-configurable steering parameter automatically if over-steering has occurred, meaning the actual angle of the wheel is determined to be greater than the desired angle of the wheel and angled in the same direction as the desired angle, or the computing device may increase the user- configurable steering parameter automatically if under-steering has occurred, meaning the actual angle of the wheel is determined to be less than the desired angle of the wheel or is angled in the opposite direction as the desired angle
