摘要:
A round baler, having a pair of spaced side walls mounted on a main frame, is supported on wheels and adapted to be pulled across a field. A crop confining apron is mounted between the side walls for defining an expandable chamber that is adapted to rotatably form a cylindrical package of crop material between the side walls. A pickup picks up crop material and conveys it into the chamber through a generally transverse crop infeed opening operatively associated with the pickup. A transverse starter roll extends between the side walls to provide the upper limit of the infeed opening. A crop severing device extends into the expandable chamber in the vicinity of the starter roll to cut crop material on the surface of the cylindrical package as it is being formed.

Crop divider mechanism for attachment to a knockdown bar of an agricultural harvesting or conditioning machine and comprising a pair of similar interchangeable left-hand and right-hand rod members bent into substantially trapezoidal shape with parallel opposite long and short sides and intervening sides sloping from said long side to said short side, pairs of bracket members attachable respectively in spaced relation along opposite end portions of said knockdown bar and each pair pivotally receiving one of said intermediate sides of said rod members, similar positioning plates respectively fixed to one bracket of each pair thereof and having several spaced holes to receive selectively one end of a positioning pin selectively to support said rod members in upstanding inoperative position or forwardly extending operative position, and supplemental flat links connected to a second plate adjacent each positioning plate in positions to engage said knockdown bar in a manner to hold said rod members no lower than in said forwardly extending operative position thereof and thereby prevent the same from accidentally falling from upstanding inoperative position toward and lower than said forwardly extending operative positions, said spaced holes selectively receiving bolts to fix said flat links in operative position upon said second plate whether interchanged between the right-hand or left-hand positions of said rod members upon said knockdown bar.

A crop harvesting machine has a crop harvesting header, a mobile frame and improved header suspension and lift means. The frame is adapted to move across a field in a forward direction and includes upper frame structure extending transversely to the forward direction and a lower wheel frame assembly. The assembly includes a transverse cylindrical member being rotatably mounted to and supporting the upper frame structure. Lift means is provided, being actuatable for moving the lower assembly, and thereby rotating the cylindrical member thereof, relative to the upper frame structure to effectuate raising of the upper frame structure and the cylindrical member relative to the field. The improved header suspension and lift means includes upper means pivotally interconnecting an upper portion of the header with the upper frame structure and lower elongated means pivotally interconnecting a lower portion of the header with the cylindrical member of the wheel frame assembly. The lower means has a portion which projects rearwardly of the pivotal connection of the lower means with the cylindrical member and underlies the member so as to be engaged by the latter to effect lifting of the header upwardly by the lower means upon rotation of the cylindrical member when the lift means is actuated so as to effectuate raising of the upper frame structure and the cylindrical member relative to the field.

A frame for a machine operable to invert and laterally displace a windrow of crop material is disclosed wherein the frame includes a support portion having a windrow pickup mechanism and a windrow inversion mechanism mounted thereon and being mobilely supported over the ground by a pair of ground wheels. The frame also includes a hitch portion pivotally connected to the support portion for articulation about a transversely extending horizontal pivot axis. A latching mechanism is operable to interengage the hitch and support portions of the frame to positionally fix the pivotal motion therebetween to lock the frame into an elevated transport position. The hitch and support portions are free to pivotally move relative to one another during operation to permit the pickup mechanism to floatingly follow the contours of the ground. Tension springs interconnecting the hitch and support portions of the frame provide flotational characteristics for the pickup mechanism by biasing the frame components toward the raised transport position.

A twine needle is provided particularly for use on large crop balers. The twine needle includes a body portion and a tip portion detachably secured to the body portion. The tip portion is designed to break off, if a predetermined force is exerted thereon, without damaging the body portion. A broken tip portion may be easily replaced without replacing the entire twine needle.

The invention consists of an offset kingpin in the rear steering axle of a self-propelled combine harvester. Attached to the rear axle is a knuckle. The kingpin is pivotally attached to the knuckle and the spindle is rotationally attached to the knuckle. The kingpin is positioned forward of the spindle allowing the rear tires equal clearance with the combine side shielding. This positioning of the kingpin relative to the spindle improves the turning radius of the combine. It also aids tire stability at road speeds.

A round baler having a main frame including opposing sidewalls, and an apron assembly comprising crop engaging elements disposed between said sidewalls for defining a bale forming chamber having a generally cylindrical shape with a transverse inlet. The crop engaging elements move along a path having an inner course contiguous with a major portion of the fixed periphery of the cylindrical chamber. The baler also includes a pickup assembly for feeding crop material to the chamber through the inlet whereby crop material accumulated in the chamber is engaged by the crop engaging elements and formed into a compacted cylindrical package. A supply of net material is selectively dispensed via a dispensing assembly into the chamber for wrapping the periphery of the formed cylindrical package of crop material in the chamber. A supply of twine fed to a twine dispensing assembly is also selectively dispensed into the chamber for wrapping the periphery of the cylindrical package of crop material. Cutting means is adapted to severe the net under conditions where the twine is being dispensed into the chamber.

A pull-type crop harvesting implement has a mobile frame which may be converted from a forward harvesting mode to a lateral transport mode by utilizing a first jack to support a left forward end of the frame, pivoting a field tongue connected to the left forward frame end from a forwardly-extending position, in which it may be coupled to a tractor for towing the implement in a forward direction in its harvesting mode, to a transversely-extending fixed position, pivoting the one of two spaced-apart ground wheels which is mounted at the left rearward frame end from a forwardly-directed position to a transversely-directed position, disposing a transport tongue at the right lateral side of the frame in a fixed position extending outwardly from the right lateral frame side, supporting the right lateral frame side by utilizing a second jack, removing the other of two ground wheels which is mounted at the right rearward frame side in a forwardly-directed position and remounting the other wheel in a transversely-directed position along the transversely-extending field tongue, and then removing the support at the left forward frame end being provided by the first jack. The tractor may then be coupled to the transport tongue for towing the implement laterally or in a direction transverse to the forward direction after the support being provided by the second jack is removed.
