    摘要: A system for processing usable crop intermixed with debris and having a frame with a conveying system thereon. The conveying system has a first debris separating assembly with a first subframe having a plurality of cooperating rollers that are configured to cause separation of debris from the usable crop. A second debris separating assembly, different than the first debris separating assembly, has a second subframe with a plurality of cooperating rollers thereon that are configured to cause separation of debris from the usable crop. The frame and first and second debris separating assemblies are configured as overall like modules so that the first and second debris separating assemblies can be separately operatively connected, one in place of the other, on the frame.

    摘要: A powered landscaping apparatus having a frame, at least one wheel on the frame through which the frame can be supported upon and advanced over a subjacent support surface, a blower assembly operatively positioned on the frame and having a fan assembly that is mounted to be turned guidingly around a vertically extending axis, and a drive on the frame for moving the fan assembly around the vertically extending axis. The blower assembly is configured to generate a pressurized supply of air that is propelled in a stream that is directed in a manner to continuously redistribute loose material that resides on the subjacent support surface as the fan assembly is moved around the vertically extending axis by the drive and the frame is advanced over the subjacent support surface.

    摘要: A carrying unit for a source of pressurized air having a frame and at least one wheel on the frame through which the frame can be supported upon and moved over a subjacent support surface. A conduit assembly is part of a pressurized air handling system on the frame and has an inlet for receiving pressurized air from a source and first and second spaced outlets for discharging pressurized air directed through the inlet. The pressurized air handling system further has an air control system that is changeable selectively into different states. By reason of changing states, the air control system causes at least one of: a) a different volume of air from the inlet to be directed to the first and second outlets; and b) a change in a direction of air discharging from one of the outlets.

    摘要: An apparatus for processing agricultural product having a main frame, a support for the main frame configured so that the main frame can be advanced in an operating direction over an area in which agricultural product is grown, and an operating system on the main frame configured to advance unearthed agricultural product intermixed with debris in a conveying direction in a conveying path between an input location and a first point of use. A first processing assembly a) advances unearthed agricultural product intermixed with debris in the conveying direction towards the first point of use; and b) allows intermixed debris to separate from the agricultural product as it is advanced in the conveying direction. A plurality of processing assemblies downstream of the first processing assembly separate intermixed debris in the form of vines from the agricultural product in different manners as the agricultural product is advanced in the conveying direction.

    摘要: A potato seed planting apparatus has: a frame configured to be advanced over a subjacent field into which potato seed is planted; at least one container on the frame for a supply of potato seed; and a plurality of laterally spaced planting units on the frame. Each of the planting units is configured to cause potato seed from the at least one container to be discharged to the subjacent field at controlled time intervals as the potato seed planting apparatus is advanced in a travel path. First and second of the planting units are configured so that the discharge time intervals for potato seeds from the first planting unit are different than the discharge time intervals for potato seeds from the second planting unit with the potato seed planting apparatus advanced at a first speed in the travel path.

    摘要: A harvesting unit with a combine, having a user cab. A harvesting apparatus, advanced by the combine, has a frame and a harvesting assembly on the frame configured to process severed crop over a width between spaced sides of the frame. A fluid delivery system discharges pressurized fluid in discrete streams each directed to at least one of: a) facilitate severance of crop by the harvesting assembly; and b) facilitate advancement of severed crop rearwardly in relationship to the frame for further processing. A user can selectively vary at least one of: a) a volume of pressurized fluid; and b) a direction of pressurized fluid in the discrete streams. A control system has at least one actuator accessible and operable from outside of the cab through a user input to cause the at least one of the volume of pressurized fluid discharged, and direction of the pressurized fluid, in the discrete streams to be varied.

    摘要: An extension assembly for a processed crop storage tank on a combine. A closure assembly for a top opening on the tank has at least one panel with one surface area that is exposed to bound a part of an exterior space above the storage space with the closure assembly open. The extension assembly has a first extension panel with a first surface with a first area and a connecting system through which the first extension panel is operatively connected to the combine. The first extension panel is changeable between a deployed position and a stored position. In the deployed position the first surface and one surface define a combined exposed surface area that is greater than the first area of the first surface. The combined surface area is exposed to confine processed crop in the exterior space with the closure assembly open.

    摘要: An apparatus for separating usable crop from intermixed debris. The apparatus has: a) a conveying system configured to convey usable crop in a processing path from an upstream input location to a downstream output location; and b) a first separating system configured to cause separation of debris intermixed with usable crop as usable crop is conveyed in the processing path. A vacuum system downstream of the preliminary separating system is configured to: a) generate a low pressure volume which causes additional debris intermixed with usable crop to be drawn away from usable crop by vacuum; and b) cause drawn debris to be directed towards a collection location spaced from the output location while allowing usable crop to advance toward the output location.

    摘要: A harvesting apparatus having a frame to be advanced over an area in which a crop is grown and a harvesting assembly on the frame configured to process severed crop. The harvesting assembly is configured to advance severed crop laterally to a delivery location between the laterally spaced sides of the frame and to and through a feed housing. A fluid delivery system discharges pressurized fluid to at least one of: a) facilitate severance of crop; and b) facilitate rearward advancement of severed crop. The fluid delivery system has at least a first pressurized fluid source through which pressurized fluid is delivered to laterally spaced outlets. A cleaning assembly has a first cleaning conduit assembly for directing pressurized fluid from the first pressurized fluid supply source in at least a first stream that repositions unusable crop and debris to reduce buildup thereof in the vicinity of the feed housing.
