20180093438 · 2018-04-05 ·

A rebaling system may include a bale processing system that processes a first bale of a first size into unbaled material; a rebaler downstream of the bale processing system, the rebaler rebaling the unbaled material into a second bale of a second size different than the first size prior to being processed; a collection platform positioned below a portion of the rebaling system that collects stray unbaled material; and a recycling system including a first auger operatively engaged with the collection platform to move collected stray unbaled material to be reintroduced to the rebaling system.

Agricultural system with a baler and tow tractor and a steering arrangement by which the baler is steered autonomously
09706697 · 2017-07-18 · ·

An agricultural system includes a baler for picking up and compressing crop from a crop swath in a field and a tow tractor. The baler is towed by the tow tractor via a draft hitch arrangement, which draft hitch arrangement allows a baler pickup track to be laterally offset from the tractor driving track with respect to the tractor driving direction. During baling, the baler pickup track is aligned to the crop swath for picking up crop and the tractor driving track is laterally spaced from the crop swath with respect to the tractor driving direction. A steering system autonomously aligns the baler pickup track onto the crop swath.

A crop feeding mechanism for a harvester includes one or a plurality of screws or augers positioned in a hollow chamber of defined by the interior surface of an elongated frame, whereby the interior surface is tapered with decreasing volume in it rear portion. The one or a plurality of screws or augers are affixed upon a rotating axis and, as crop material is fed into the chamber, the one or a plurality of screws or augers conveys crop material rearward toward the tapered end and compact the crop materials so that the compacted crop material is extruded out of an opening at the rear end at a rate and temperature and in a form sufficient to allow a net wrap mechanism positioned at or near the opening to wrap the crop into a bale.

Harvesting system including modular units

AGRICULTURAL MACHINE ASSEMBLY WITH A DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

An agricultural machine assembly with a driver assistance system. The agricultural machine assembly includes the driver assistance system, and an agricultural work machine and an attachment adapted to the agricultural work machine and designed as an agricultural baler. The agricultural work machine and the attachment each comprise working units which may be actuated for setting parameters (P). The driver assistance system optimizes operation and is configured to form a work machine setting device and a baler setting device. The work machine setting device and the baler setting device are configured to optimize the mode of operation of the agricultural work machine and the agricultural baler depending on each other.
