Abstract:
A measurement device for detecting agricultural crops located within a conveyor channel. The measurement device includes a light-transmitting panel positioned adjacent to the conveyor channel and is configured to be movable between an operational position and a cleaning position. The measurement device includes a sensor positioned with respect to the light-transmitting panel so as to detect the agricultural crops in the conveyor channel through the light-transmitting panel. A harvesting machine is particularly adapted to utilize the measurement device.
Abstract:
An arrangement for the withdrawal of samples from a flow of harvested crop flowing in a conveying channel in a harvesting machine includes a guide element mounted so as to cover a sample withdrawal opening provided in a wall of the channel. The guide element is mounted for movement between a first position wherein it blocks the withdrawal opening, and in a second position wherein it opens the withdrawal opening and includes a region that is inserted into the conveying channel so as to forcibly deflect a crop sample through the withdrawal opening.
Abstract:
A combination of a tractor and an implement is pulled by the tractor. A draw bar is coupled to the tractor so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis. The implement is supported on the ground by wheels and comprises a cultivating element for cultivating a field. A control device is usable to activate a first actuator with which the a position of the draw bar is changeable in relation to the implement, where the control device can be operated in order to activate the first actuator in such a manner that the latter adjusts the draw bar with the effect of moving the implement toward the outside of a curve.
Abstract:
A control arrangement and method for controlling the transfer of agricultural crop from a harvesting machine to a transport vehicle comprises a loading container. The control arrangement is able to be operated to automatically deposit the crop during the harvesting mode successively at different points in the loading container, following a predetermined loading strategy, by means of a discharging device of the harvesting machine, where the loading strategy may be changed and/or a choice may be made between different loading strategies.
Abstract:
A discharge arrangement of an agricultural harvesting machine comprises a retaining arrangement, a housing removably mounted onto the retaining arrangement, and a measuring device mounted within the housing. The measuring device is adapted to detect properties of the harvested crop. A cover arrangement is pivotably mounted onto the retaining arrangement to enclose the housing and the measuring device such that the housing and the measuring device are positioned between the cover arrangement and the discharge arrangement.
Abstract:
A forage harvester is provided with a chopping arrangement and a reworking device downstream from the chopping arrangement. The reworking device having two rolls between which the harvested crop chopped by the chopping mechanism can be passed through and whose spacing and/or compressive force is adjustable by a unit that is actuated by an external force and is connected with a control device. The control device is acted upon by information with regard to the cut length of the chopping arrangement and directs the unit as a function of the cut length.

Abstract:
A control arrangement is provided for controlling the transfer of agricultural crop from a harvesting machine to a transport vehicle, the transport vehicle comprising a loading container. The control arrangement based on signals from a sensor arrangement detects the fill level and/or the outer contours of the loading container and controls the position of the output end of a discharge device with respect to the harvesting machine and/or the ejection direction of the discharge device, and/or the position of the transport vehicle with the loading container with respect to the harvesting machine, automatically in such a manner that the loading container is successively filled with the crop. It is further proposed that the sensor arrangement is designed to detect the position of a second loading container and that the control arrangement can be operated so that after detection of an overall sufficiently filled first loading container, the discharge device will be automatically aligned to the second loading container based on the signals from the sensor arrangement.
Abstract:
A crop measuring arrangement is arranged on a harvesting vehicle to interact with a material that is to be investigated in order to detect at least one component of the material, and that can be fastened to a vehicle by means of a retaining arrangement, so that the measuring arrangement can be operated in the condition in which it is fastened to the retaining arrangement in order to analyze material handled and/or processed by means of the vehicle. The retaining arrangement for securing the measuring arrangement to the vehicle is constructed so that the measuring arrangement can be easily separated from the retaining arrangement and used to investigate material in a stationary application.
Abstract:
A discharge elbow for a forage harvester. The discharge elbow includes an outer wall and two side walls that extend away from the outer wall. Together, the walls form a guidance for the flow of harvested crop ejected by the forage harvester. The discharge elbow includes an optical sensor for determining the material contents of the harvested crop. The sensor interacts with the harvested crop through an opening in the outer wall. The side walls converge towards the outer wall over at least the partial length of the discharge elbow adjoining the opening. The flow of crop is thus concentrated so that the material content of the harvested crop can be determined even at low throughput values.
