Abstract: An apparatus for forming large round bales of crop material includes a frame (10) having a pair of side walls (12, 14) and ground engaging wheels (18) mounted on the frame for supporting the apparatus for movement across the ground. A plurality of rollers (24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38) are mounted for rotatable movement relative to the frame (10) and extend between the side walls (12, 14), and a plurality of endless bale forming belts (46) are trained about the rollers to define a bale forming chamber (16) in which large round bales of crop materials are formed. At least one additional chamber (48) is also defined by the bale forming belts (46) adjacent the bale forming chamber (16). A clean-out assembly (54) is provided for cleaning crop material from the additional chamber. The clean-out assembly (54) includes an opening (64) in one of the side walls (12) of the baler and a clean-out belt mounted on a pair of pulleys (56, 58) for sweeping crop material in a direction toward the opening in the side wall so that material within the additional chamber (48) is swept from the apparatus through the opening (64).

Abstract: Individual row units on the harvester, each including a crop transfer trough, cutting apparatus at the forward end of the trough, and cooperating conveyors along the trough, are independently swingable relative to one another for changing the distance between the troughs at their forward ends in accordance with the row spacing encountered in a particular field. The spacing at the rear ends of the troughs remains unchanged in all positions of swinging movement of the units so that the dimensions of the discharge zone into which the crops are delivered by the units may remain constant. Individual sets of disc cutters serve as the cutting apparatus for the row units and are driven by the same mechanism that operates the conveyors. Intermeshing gears of the drive walk around one another without disengagement during adjustable swinging of the units, and a hood between the units expands and contracts during swinging to present a continuous closed surface between the units regardless of their relative angular positions.

Abstract: A harvester which uses a rotary style cutter bed has a series of rotary cutters extending across the path of travel of the machine and rotatable about individual upright axes. Part of the cutter bed is a flat gear case containing a train of intermeshed spur gears that serve to distribute power between the cutters above the gear train. Each end of the gear case has a hollow, gearless extension welded thereto which supports at least one additional outboard cutter that receives its driving power exteriorally of the gear case. One embodiment uses a mechanical drive to bring power to the upright shaft of the cutter having the first spur gear so that the cutters with gears receive all their power from the driven cutter. The outboard cutters not having gears are driven by exterior, over-the-top drive mechanism coupled with the shafts of the first and last geared cutters, such drive mechanism alternatively taking the form of timing belts with timing sheaves, chains and sprockets, gear box and universal joint couplings or a spur gear train. As an alternative to a mechanical drive, the cutter bar may utilize a pair of hydraulic motors coupled with the shafts of the first and last cutters having gears. All of the gears in the gear case remain positively enmeshed with one another in the gear train, so that the two hydraulic motors share the total load of driving the cutter bed and such loading is balanced between the two hydraulic motors, prolonging the useful life of the gears and other drive components. The added on, outboard cutters are driven over the top using timing belts, timing sheaves, universal couplings or a spur gear train.

Abstract: Standing crops severed by sickle mechanism at the leading edge of the machine are swept upwardly and rearwardly along a platform by a rotating reel to a lower, center-gathering auger and an upper, spaced distributing auger that converge the materials centrally and distribute them evenly across a discharge opening ahead of rearwardly positioned conditioning rolls. As severed materials pass through the machine, the flow is gently and progressively converged vertically due to the distances between the reel and the underlying platform, the two augers, and the conditioning rolls becoming progressively smaller. The lower auger serves as the primary central-gatherer, while the upper auger performs primarily as a distributor to spread materials which have been gathered by the lower auger over a substantial width of the discharge opening to the conditioning rolls, hence providing a generally uniformly thick and dense flow to the conditioner rolls instead of one which is congested and bunchy at opposite ends of the rolls.
