Abstract:
Agricultural square baler wherein the pivotable member is mechanically linked to the drive shaft by a linkage of the baler provided for mechanically pivoting the pivotable member in relation to the rotation of the drive shaft.
Abstract:
A folding crop header having an articulated, elongate crop divider defining upper and lower crop divider edges and having first and second crop divider sections, the crop divider including at or adjacent a said lower crop divider edge a hinge permitting pivoting of the first and second crop divider sections relative to one another about a first axis; and the crop divider including a linkage permitting pivoting of the first and second crop divider sections relative to one another about a second axis at or adjacent the said upper crop divider edge; and additionally permitting displacement of the first and second crop divider sections relative to one another in a displacement direction that is skewed relative to the second axis, the hinge being decouplable.
Abstract:
An agricultural machine with a mechanism involving rotating fingers for gathering crops towards an entry port, such as a rotating auger tube, has fingers mounted to be rotatable about a shaft that is itself movable inside the rotating tube, as the ends of the shaft are supported by a pair of cams. The ends of the shaft are movable along cam tracks which impose movement of the shaft along a pre-defined trajectory. Through a suitable coupling mechanism, the rotation of the tube drives the movement of the shaft ends in the cam tracks and hence the movement of the shaft itself, while the shaft remains parallel to the tube's rotation axis.
Abstract:
A header bar assembly has a row of header bar elements mounted on a fixed header bar section. The assembly includes a first moveable wing having mounted thereon one or more further header bar elements, the fixed header bar section supporting at the first end a first pillar extending generally perpendicular to the fixed header bar section and via which the first moveable wing is retained moveably captive relative to the fixed header bar section. The first moveable wing is moveable relative to the first pillar vertically and rotatably from an operative, deployed position in which it extends generally parallel to the fixed header bar section to a stowed position through vertical movement on the first pillar and rotation such that the first moveable wing lies adjacent the fixed header bar section inboard of the first pillar.

Abstract:
Agricultural baler with feeder system arranged for repeatedly feeding crop material towards a baling chamber, the feeder system includes a feeding chamber and a stuffer. The feeder system is arranged for collecting a crop material. The stuffer is arranged for repeatedly carrying out a stuffing cycle and varying an entry position and/or an exit position and/or a stroke depth. The feeder system further includes a sensor arranged for generating a signal indicative of the accumulated crop material in the feeding chamber. A controller that is arranged for triggering the stuffer to start a stuffing cycle wherein the entry position, the exit position, and/or the stroke depth, is adjusted in response to an indication by the sensor signal of the accumulated crop material in the feeding chamber.
