摘要： An improved windrow pickup attachment for a forage harvester having a mechanism for processing crop materials including an input opening for receiving crop material. The attachment includes a main frame positioned on the front of the forage harvester adjacent the input opening. A transverse reel assembly and an auger conveyor are mounted on the main frame for picking up crop material from the ground, consolidating it and conveying it to the forage harvester base unit via the input opening. A ground gauging roller assembly supports the attachment to protect the reel during operation over uneven terrain. The assembly is adjustably mounted relative to the main frame.

摘要： 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.

摘要翻译： 一种用于将第一农业工具（例如饲料货车）联接到第二农业工具的连接组件，例如自推或拉式饲料收割机。 悬挂组件包括固定到第一农具的大致垂直的搭接销，以及从第二农具固定并向后延伸的牵引杆。 固定在牵引杆上的连接板具有向后的凹口，其适于在第一农具相邻于牵引杆定位的条件下容纳销。 枢转地安装在搭接板上的闩锁板在打开和关闭位置之间往复运动，用于在销由凹口容纳并且闩锁板处于关闭位置的条件下将销保持在凹口中。 闩锁板通过在延伸和缩回状态之间往复运动的闩锁保持在关闭位置。 当连接销被推出凹口时，闩锁板以与由销施加的力成比例的力的力量向闩锁施加变化的力。 耦合到闩锁的致动器适于当对其的力低于预定阈值时将闩锁从其延伸位置移动到缩回位置。 此外，补充弹簧组件在对闩锁的力移动通过该阈值的条件下将闩锁从延伸位置移动到缩回位置。

摘要： A round baler having a main frame, a tailgate pivotally connected to the main frame and an apron extending around a plurality of guide rolls disposed in the main frame and the tailgate. A pair of take up arms, rotatably mounted on the main frame, carry at least one additional guide roll for the apron. A bale forming chamber, including the apron, varies in size from a bale starting position to a full bale position. A pair of levers, connected to rotate with the take up arms, have attached thereto a tensioning mechanism to urge the take up arms to the bale starting position of the apron. The machine is provided with apparatus for wrapping the formed bale with twine and a unique system that operates in conjunction with the levers to automatically trip the wrapping apparatus when the bale formed in the chamber has attained a desired size.
