摘要： An agricultural harvesting machine having a plurality of independently supported row crop harvesting units is provided with a hydraulically operated vertical positioning mechanism for adjusting the height of the units in accordance with ground surface variations. Each unit is provided with a ground-engaging feeler mechanically coupled to a control valve which adjustably varies the hydraulic fluid flow to a single acting unit lift cylinder. The cylinder includes fluid bypass capabilities to permit continued hydraulic fluid flow upon full extension of the cylinder piston and thereby avoid a fluid system pressure and consequent temperature increase.

摘要： A cotton harvester for mounting on a tractor or similar vehicle, wherein a transversely extending cross auger frame is supported by a lift frame assembly rearwardly of the rear tractor wheels. Individual cotton harvesting units are supported above the ground by the cross auger frame and include plant passages located generally rearwardly of the rear wheels. The lift frame assembly is pivotally connected to the tractor adjacent the rear axle and includes four-bar linkage structure for positioning the row units in the desired attitude as the cross auger frame is pivoted up and down. The linkage permits the row units to be positioned closely adjacent the rear wheels without interfering with them as the cross auger frame is raised or lowered. A cotton receiving basket is supported directly above the tractor. A cotton conveying system, including a telescoping air duct extending upwardly and forwardly from the cross auger frame and a fan connected to the frame, moves the removed cotton from the row units to the basket. Mounting the cross auger frame rearwardly of the tractor permits two or more row units to be utilized. The rear-mounting arrangement also permits the use of row units and a cross auger frame which are generally identical to that utilized on a self-propelled cotton harvester.

摘要： A cotton harvester with an offset head having four row units positioned for harvesting cotton planted in uniformly spaced narrow rows. The frame of the harvester is supported near its forward end by a pair of drive wheels adapted to run between two pairs of rows of cotton. The head is offset so that three rows of cotton are accommodated between the wheels and one row of cotton is accommodated outside one of the wheels. The machine drive and guide wheels can therefore be positioned between the rows for ease in steering and driving. A cotton basket on the harvester can be dumped toward the side which is unobstructed by a harvesting unit so the receiving implement can be positioned closer to the harvester and so the head which is offset in the opposite direction can act as a counterweight to balance the harvester as the basket is extended transversely for dumping.

摘要： A cotton stripper with an improved row unit having brush rolls and augers with parallel shafts driven by a gear drive. The parallel shafts permit the unit to be narrowed several inches compared with the conventional units. A cut-off member between the brush roll and auger has an edge which runs parallel to the shafts below the axis of the brush roll shaft to break up stalks and facilitate power feeding of stripped material toward the lower part of the auger. The auger housing is formed with angled flat walls for better stalk breakage. The row unit housing includes a light, low friction plastic cover with a quick attach and release mounting arrangement including a rear panel that serves both as a unit drive cover and a hold-down structure for the rear of the plastic cover. The cover includes inner and outer walls separated by a hollow interior for strength, rigidity and noise and weight reduction. The double wall construction also facilitates shaping of the outer wall for funnelling cotton towards the row-receiving area and the inner wall for maintaining stripped cotton within the housing and directing the stripped cotton toward the row unit augers.

摘要： An interlock system for a telescoping dumping basket on a cotton harvester includes a rotary control valve which controls basket telescoping and unloading functions. A lever on the basket operates an interference lock restricting rotation of the control valve away from the telescoping position toward an unloading position when the basket is retracted a preselected amount toward a compact storage position. The lever is connected through a push-pull cable to the lock on the valve so that valve rotation is mechanically restricted when the basket is retracted.

摘要： A head assembly for a cotton harvesting machine which provides many combinations of row widths and various row harvesting capacities. The head assembly includes a main cross auger frame with row unit support structure which slidably receives a plurality of vertically adjustable row units. The support structure permits simultaneous transverse adjustment of each individual row unit and its associated hydraulic lift cylinder. An extension frame is provided for adding extra row units for increased capacity or accommodating widely spaced rows of cotton. Row units and lift cylinders are freely slidable between the main frame and the extension, and the extension is removable to lessen machine width during transport. The main cross auger frame includes a pair of transversely spaced bearings which journal opposite ends of a main cross auger. An auger extension is attached to a shaft which extends through the extension end bearing to eliminate need for relocating the bearing or providing a telescoping auger.

摘要： A cylinder valve includes a body with a threaded extension defining a first output port which screws directly into the cylinder port. An input port connected to a source of hydraulic fluid communicates with the first output port through an axially extending passage in a cylindrical valve spool. The passage also communicates with a second output port axially aligned with the first port and connected through a hose to a second cylinder which operates in unison with the first cylinder. A handle is provided for rotating the spool ninety degrees to block the ports and lock the cylinders against movement. The valve is particularly useful for locking the basket lift cylinders on a cotton harvester in the raised position for maintenance work.

摘要： A pair of transversely aligned upright columns of bristles are mounted on the forward gatherers of a cotton harvester. The bristles extend horizontally with the free ends of the bristles in the columns being closely adjacent to one another thereby closing the forward end of the passage through which the cotton plants pass. The harvesting mechanism of the harvester will often throw cotton bolls out of the forward end of the plant passage and with the bristles arranged as proposed the cotton will be prevented from leaving the passage and/or will be impinged on the ends of the bristles. Cotton plants moving against the bristles will bend or deform them and will comb any cotton that is retained on the bristles back into the area of the harvesting equipment.

摘要： A cotton stripper with an improved row unit having brush rolls and augers with parallel shafts driven by a gear drive. The parallel shafts permit the unit to be narrowed several inches compared with the conventional units. A cut-off member between the brush roll and auger has an edge which runs parallel to the shafts below the axis of the brush roll shaft to break up stalks and facilitate power feeding of stripped material toward the lower part of the auger. The auger housing is formed with angled flat walls for better stalk breakage. Upright forward slots and rear fore-and-aft extending slots in flat auger walls provide increased dirt and trash elimination. The top of the row unit housing is formed with a low friction material that is angled downwardly toward the row receiving area to reduce cotton loss. A separation chamber leading rearwardly from the cross auger outlet to the input of the main vertical duct is open on the bottom with several air assist tubes extending across the proximate end of the opening to float ripe cotton. The tubes have holes which open to direct air toward the main duct input above the distal end of the opening. A reduced output jet in the main duct sucks floated cotton from the chamber, while denser green bolls and other dense debris drop through the opening and out of the conveying path.
