摘要:
A system and method for enabling the communication to and establishment among a plurality of generally like and like-purpose agricultural machines designed to perform generally similar agricultural operations within a given area generally like performance parameters, especially based upon the performance parameters of a particular agricultural machine that is considered or deemed to be the expert or exemplar machine, which system and method employ short range communications systems included in or associated with the operating systems of the individual agricultural machines to effect the distribution of the exemplar performance parameters to the plurality of agricultural machines, through a peer to peer wireless network between and among the plurality of agricultural machines for point to point communications, for use by the individual agricultural machines in controlling and performing the agricultural operation.

An improved baler and a method of using the improved baler to produce high density bales. The baler comprises a pick-up assembly (15,16,17,200) configured to pick-up crop material (60, 205); a compression assembly comprising at least one pair of opposing compression rollers (100a, 100b; 220a, 220b) configured to generate a pressure on the crop material (60,205) sufficient to crush the nodes as it passes between the compression rollers (100a, 100b; 220a, 220b); and a bale chamber (19,250), wherein the crushed crop forms a bale. The compression rollers (100a, 100b; 220a, 220b) define an adjustable gap therebetween. By adjusting the gap, a pressure sufficient to crush the nodes of the crop may be exerted on the crop material (60, 205) as it passes between the compression rollers (100a, 100b; 220a, 220b) may be controlled, resulting in bales of higher density than conventional bales.
摘要:
A bale wrap or tie monitor is provided on a round baler 10 that uses a sensor array 30, 32 to sense the presence or absence of twine, net or film after initial operation of the wrapping mechanism and prior to ejection of the bale 16 onto the field. Either, or both, visual and audible alarms can be initiated when default conditions are met.

A self-propelled agricultural combine (20) having a capability for baling crop residue produced by operation of the combine, including chaff from the cleaning system. The combine (20) can also incorporate a dust suppression capability. The crop residue produced by threshing is in a compressed state, and is routed directly to a baler (22) of the combine (20) is essentially a continuous, compressed stream, while still in that state, and the chaff is mixed in before compaction into the bales. The dust suppression apparatus (24) uses air flow of a cleaning system (44) of the combine (20), to carry the dust and separates the air such that the dust will fall from the combine (20).
摘要:
A bale shape indicator includes a sensor assembly 45 configured for use with a bale 70 being formed, to indicate, in a non-contacting manner, the amount of crop components 56 present in a predetermined area along at least one region 72,74 of the bale 70. The indications are capable of being manipulated to determine a density value for the at least one region 72,74 of the bale 70.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling bale forming operations is disclosed. The system and method includes a monitoring system for visually imaging a portion of a bale and providing a warning to an operator if the bale is wrapped or shaped incorrectly.
摘要:
A baling machine and method for forming a bale is disclosed. A sensor 82 is positioned in the baling chamber and is positioned to sense a region proximate the perimeter of the bale to determine if material is present, thereby determining if the bale is properly wrapped or not. When the bale is not properly wrapped, material is present in the region proximate the perimeter in which the sensor is active, causing the sensor to send a signal indicating that the bale is not properly wrapped.
