Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of feeding a group of animals (13) at a feeding location (11) comprising the following steps: a) automatically determining an expected feed demand for the group of animals (13) to be fed using a computer; b) automatically harvesting feed crop (14) in a crop field (9) using an autonomous, unmanned device (1); c) automatically loading the harvested feed crop (14) into a storage space (6) provided on the autonomous, unmanned device (1); d) automatically transporting the feed crop (14) from the crop field (9) to the feeding location (11) by means of the autonomous, unmanned device (1); e) automatically dosing harvested feed (14) from the storage space (6) of the autonomous, unmanned device (1) to the animals (13) at the feeding location (11). A completely automated method for determining a feed demand and then harvesting, transporting and dosing the harvested feed (14) to the animals (13) is thus realized. The invention further relates to a system for performing the method of feeding a group of animals (13) at a feeding location (11).
Abstract:
A sod harvester may include a cutting head for cutting the strip of sod from a field, a transport conveyor located behind the cutting head for conveying the strip of sod from the cutting head, and a roll-up mechanism operatively connected to the transport conveyor. The roll-up mechanism may be adapted to form the strip of sod into the sod roll. An accumulator may be disposed downstream from the transport conveyor. The accumulator may include a receiving surface to receive the sod roll from the transport conveyor. A guide member may be positioned above the accumulator. The guide member may be adapted to contact an outer surface of the sod roll when the sod roll is transferred from the transport conveyor to the receiving surface, thereby inhibiting unrolling of the sod roll.
Abstract:
A hay baler provided with a tubular duct within which charges of crop material are prepared before being stuffed into the baling chamber has a windrow pickup device at its front end to lift crop materials off the ground as the baler advances. The effective operating width of the pickup is wider than the inlet to the duct so that the stream of crop materials lifted off the ground must be converged centrally into alignment with the inlet before entering the same. A pair of lower stub augers on opposite sides of the inlet are assisted by a pair of upper stub augers rotating in opposite directions relative to the lower augers to accomplish such convergence. A windguard overlies the incoming crop flow as well as the consolidation zone between left and right sets of the stub augers so as to maintain effective control over the flow at all times.
Abstract:
A multifunctional lawn mower includes a handlebar (1) and a mower head (2). The blade is arranged in the mover head. A front casing (3) and a rear casing (4) that lock jointly are arranged on top of the lawn mower. Wheels (5) are separately set on the front and rear casing. Height regulating devices (6) are set separately between the wheels and the front or rear casing. This multifunctional lawn mower not only can use as a lawn mower but also can use as a trimmer after installing the front and rear casing. Like trimmer, this lawn mower can also include a grass bag. The lawn mower has the advantages of using conveniently, saving labor, and regulating cutting height as required.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a single work platform solution for the vast majority of harvesting, crop care and logistic needs of the palm oil plantation industry, that will lead to and yield higher economic return of such plantation land whilst improving its ecological footprint.
Abstract:
Mowing head (11) with discs (21) for cutting plants, comprising: a supporting structure (13) defining a front portion (15) of the head (11), which encounters first the product to be cut when the head (1 1) moves forward on the ground in a working configuration for cutting plants, and a rear portion (17) of the head (11) towards which the cut product is conveyed for being collected or laid on the ground; a cutter bar (19) having rotary discs (21) and associated with the supporting structure (13) at the front portion (15) of the head (11), perpendicularly relative to the advancing direction of the head (11); a conveying assembly (23) for the product cut by the cutter bar (19), adapted to convey the cut product from the front portion (15) of the head (11) towards the rear portion (17) of the head (11); wherein the conveying assembly (23) includes: at least a first, longitudinal conveyor belt (25a, 25b) for conveying the cut product in a direction parallel to the cutter bar (19), i.e. perpendicular to the advancing direction of the head (11); at least a second, transverse conveyor belt (27) for conveying the cut product coming from said at least a first conveyor belt (25a, 25b) in a direction perpendicular to the cutter bar (19), i.e. parallel to the advancing direction of the head (11).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a machine formed by a grain-holding box containing a combination of two transverse plates, namely a front vertical plate that closes the box and another plate which is solidly connected to the front plate halfway along the length thereof, inclined at 45º, projected forward and integrally welded to the structure of the machine. In addition, the running gear includes a back axle provided with a single shaft connected at the ends thereof to a pair of wheels plus at least one crown wheel, and said at least one crown wheel is in turn linked by means of a transmission chain to at least one gear mounted on the ends of a control rod of an integral clutch device linked by another transmission chain to a hydraulic motor, with the actuation and control means thereof.
Abstract:
A device and method for cutting forage and lading the fresh cut forage onto a conveyor belt. The conveyer belt transports the fresh cut forage into a vehicle to transport the forage. The forage goes directly into the transport vehicle without being placed on the ground eliminating the need for additional runs to recover the forage.
Abstract:
Cutter loader, to be connected to a tractor, provided with a loading space with essentially rigid walls, disposed in a framework supported on the ground by support wheels (38), with a conveyor channel (9) leading to the loading space (3), at the lower end of which is disposed a cutter, and with a conveyor device, which, serving as a loading device, passes the crop harvested by the cutter (14) along the conveyor channel (9) and into the loading space (3), and, serving as an unloading device, unloads the harvested crop through an opened unloading aperture.
