摘要:
An apparatus (10, 130, 160, 228, 310, 330, 350) for transporting and filling a freight container (70), such as an ISO standard intermodal container, with grain or other crop at the point of harvest. The apparatus includes a chassis (12, 162) adapted to support the freight container (70) and a hopper (38) for receiving grain from a harvesting machine. A conveyor (44) moves the grain from the hopper (38) and into the container (70). The apparatus is pulled by a tractor (20) or can be a self-propelled vehicle to move the container (70) through a field to the harvester to receive grain and fill the container (70) while the harvester continues to move through the field harvesting grain. The apparatus can be provided with means for loading and unloading a container (70) from the chassis (12, 162).

摘要:
A merger that picks up and distributes materials from a ground surface is provided. The merger includes a frame that provides support to the merger, a pick-up head affixed to the frame that lifts the materials from the ground surface, a height adjustor affixed to the frame that maintains a minimum clearance between the ground surface and the pick-up head, and a conveyor affixed to the frame that receives the materials from the pick-up head. The conveyor includes a first belt and a second belt that independently distributes the materials on the ground surface from at least one of a first side of the frame and a second side of the frame.
摘要:
A measurer for crop yield per location is disclosed. In general, the crop yield measurer includes a crop collector for a field of crops. The crop collector includes a navigation satellite system location determiner to determine location information at periodic times during a crop collection process. The crop collector also includes a weighing mechanism to determine a weight of collected crops at the periodic times during the crop collection process. In addition, a database is used for storing the location information and the weight at the periodic times during the crop collection process. A crop yield overview generator is then utilized to provide a user accessible crop yield per location overview for the field of crops based on the information stored at the database.
