Abstract:
A round baler is provided having a bale chamber that is partly covered by stationary side walls assuming the size and shape of the bale chamber and by a gate having a skirt which can be brought into an overlapping relationship with the side walls when the gate is closed.
Abstract:
A towed implement is provided with ground support wheels mounted to its chassis by trailing wheel support arms and respective suspensions including lift cylinders with which are associated damping devices that operate in such a way as to prevent damage to a respective cylinder from rebounding forces resulting when the suspension is being returned to its operating position by the release of energy stored in spring arrangements of the suspension after being loaded by an obstacle engaging the associated wheel. In one embodiment, the spring arrangement includes a damping spring located between an end of the associated cylinder and piston, and in another embodiment, the spring arrangement includes a gas pressure reservoir which, by virtue the operation of a reversing link in the suspension, is loaded both when the wheel is caused to move in a first direction by engaging an obstacle, and when the wheel is moved in the opposite direction by the airborne wheel once past the obstacle.
Abstract:
A retaining arrangement, including a support arm is proposed, by means of which an operating unit is connected with a vehicle. The retaining arrangement includes a safety device which operates such that, as long as a predetermined condition is not fulfilled, the connection of the operating unit with the vehicle is maintained. The operating unit is connected with the support arm in such a way that the operating unit can pivot with respect to the support arm about at least one axis provided with at least one vertical component that is arranged in a generally central region of the operating unit, when the safety device frees the connection.
Abstract:
A rotor includes a tube having an outer cross section which is non-circular onto which is assembled one-piece drivers provided with central openings of the same shape and size as the outer circumferential surface of the tube and thereby create a connection, fixed against rotation, between these parts. The rotor is shown used in a crop reducing arrangement of a large round baler.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a round baling press having a baling press chamber and a door arranged in the rear section of the baling press chamber. The door is movable along a path between a closed position, in which the door extends along the back side of the baling press chamber, and an open position in which a completely formed bale can be ejected from the baling press chamber. The baling press further includes at least one sensor providing information on the position of the door. The sensor provides a signal value which contains information on the respective position of the door along its path of movement.
Abstract:
A rotobaler is provided with an inclination sensor that recognizes the inclination of the rotobaler, to the side as well as tin the longitudinal direction. The inclination sensor generates a signal that is processed by a computer that controls a display arrangement in order to indicate whether a bale that is to be unloaded from the rotobaler can be ejected from the rotobaler, as presently positioned. If the inclination is such that a safe ejection of the bale is not possible, the computer sends out a signal that locks an outlet arrangement for the bale, or that steers the rotobaler in such a way that the bale is deposited with its longitudinal axis parallel to the inclination of the slope.
Abstract:
An agricultural machine includes a wheel at each end of a transverse main frame with each wheel being carried by a vertically pivotal link to which an extensible and retractable actuating device is coupled for effecting vertical adjustment of the frame relative to the ground. The upper end of each actuating device is attached to a further link which is vertically pivotally mounted to the frame and has its upward movement resisted by a frame-mounted spring so as to dampen forces imposed on the wheel by the terrain. Each further link may be selectively locked to the frame so as to eliminate the function of the associated spring.
Abstract:
A towed, agricultural implement includes an undercarriage supported on ground wheels that are attached to the undercarriage by trailing support arms. An adjusting motor is coupled between the undercarriage and a transverse torsion rod having its opposite ends coupled to the wheel support arms by braces. The adjusting motor is selectively operable for raising and lowering the ground wheels relative to the undercarriage, with the torsion rod acting to absorb shocks between the undercarriage and the wheel support arms.
