Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining the cylindrical profile of forage harvester cutterheads involves moving a grinding stone back and forth along a predetermined path between positions which are adjacent opposite ends of a cutterhead. Initially, the grinding stone is moved gradually toward the cutterhead along a first slope until it is fully engaged with the cutting edges of the cutterhead knives. Next, the grinding stone is moved generally lengthwise of the cutterhead along a line substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cutterhead while it is kept fully engaged with the cutting edges of the cutterhead knives. Finally, the grinding stone is moved gradually away from the cutterhead along a second slope until it is fully disengaged from the cutting edges of the cutterhead knives.

Abstract: A cutting system for a forage harvester includes a source of rotational movement for each of the pair of substantially planar counterrotating blades and for a pair of substantially planar counterrotating gripping members. Each blade of the pair of blades is configured to rotate about a substantially parallel axis. Each gripping member of the pair of gripping members is configured to rotate about a corresponding rotational axis of one blade of the pair of blades. The source of rotational movement is separated from each blade of the pair of blades by an inner shaft. The source of rotational movement is separated from each gripping member of the pair of gripping members by a tube surrounding the shaft. The tube includes a gripping portion secured to a periphery of the tube between the source of rotational movement and the pair of gripping members.

Abstract: A mechanism for connecting outboard gathering wheels to a moveable crop pick-up assembly on a round baler that incorporates a multi-element linkage to enable the rate of vertical movement of the gathering wheels to be different than the rate of vertical movement of the pick-up assembly. As the pick-up assembly is moved vertically by an actuator, the linkage interconnecting the gathering wheels and the pick-up causes the gathering wheels to also move vertically, but at a rate that is different, usually less, than the rate of vertical movement of the pickup. The linkage enables the pick-up to be raised sufficiently for transport without causing the gathering wheels to impinge upon the baler frame as occurs when both are raised at the same rate. Use of tension members in the linkage allows the gathering wheels to up float during operation without damaging the linkage.

Abstract: A hitch assembly for coupling a first agricultural implement, such as a forage wagon, to a second agricultural implement, such as a self propelled or pull type forage harvester. The hitch assembly includes a substantially vertical hitch pin affixed to the first agricultural implement, and a drawbar affixed to and extending rearwardly from the second agricultural implement. A hitch plate, affixed to the drawbar, has a rearwardly facing notch adapted to accommodate the pin under conditions where the first agricultural implement is positioned adjacent the drawbar. A latch plate pivotally mounted on the hitch plate, reciprocates between open and closed positions, for holding the pin in the notch under conditions where the pin is accommodated by the notch and the latch plate is in the closed position. The latch plate is held in the closed position by a latch reciprocal between extended and retracted conditions. When the hitch pin is urged out of the notch, the latch plate applies a varying force against the latch at levels of force proportionate to the force applied by the pin. An actuator, coupled to the latch, is adapted to move the latch from its extended position to the retracted position when the force against it is below a predetermined threshold. Additionally, a supplemental spring assembly moves the latch from the extended position to the retracted position under conditions where the force against the latch moves through such threshold.

Abstract: A crop gathering attachment for an agricultural harvester having a rotatable auger-like conveyor for transporting crop material, a stationary crank shaft mechanism enclosed in the conveyor and having a shaft portion disposed eccentrically and parallel to the rotational axis of the conveyor, and a retractable finger arrangement comprising a plurality of finger members pivotally connected at their inner ends to the shaft portion and projecting outwardly through guiding members provided in the peripheral wall of the conveyor. The finger arrangement is timed such that due to the eccentric disposition of the shaft portion, the finger members are reciprocated relative to the conveyor wall upon rotation of the conveyor, thereby protruding from the wall at one side of the conveyor for projecting into the crop material and being retracted relative to the wall at the generally diametrically opposed side of the conveyor for releasing the transported crop. A unique actuator is operatively connected to the crank shaft mechanism for remotely controlling the position of the shaft portion relative to the conveyor and thereby varying the timing of the finger members.
