Crop transfer device (4) for transferring crop to a receptacle, the device comprising a conveyor (8) for transferring the crop and the conveyor defining a conveyor plane (CP). The conveyor has a conveyor outlet (10) defining an outlet direction (OD) which is the direction of the crop falling from the conveyor at the conveyor outlet. The crop transfer device (4) comprises a scanning device (12) adapted to scan the surface of crop situated below the conveyor outlet and the crop transfer device (4) comprises a mounting device (14) by which the scanning device is mounted to the conveyor (8) with a translational mobility of the scanning device with respect to the conveyor along a path (20).

Systems and methods for separating harvested crop product from twigs, dirt, dust, and other debris. A disk to be used in a harvester includes a first segment and a second segment and is configured to cooperate with adjacent disks axially mounted on a common rotational shaft, and radially cooperate with disks mounted on a parallel rotational shaft. The disks are used in a roller assembly or a harvester, and gaps between cooperating disks remain effectively constant during operation.

A sugarcane feed roller structure comprises a sugarcane feed roller, a motor, a coupling, and a seal. The coupling interconnects the motor and the sugarcane feed roller, and comprises a splined joint. The seal protects the splined joint. An associated method is disclosed.

This pick-up apparatus for picking up harvested root crop defines a pick-up plane and comprises a pick-up section. The pick-up section comprises a pick-up member adapted to pick up the root crop, and a cleaning member. The pick-up member defines a pick-up position with respect to the pick-up plane. The pick-up apparatus comprises a cleaning adjustment device adapted to adjust the position of the cleaning member between at least two cleaning positions, the cleaning positions being different one from another. In each of the cleaning positions of the cleaning member and while the pick-up member is in the pick-up position, the distance of the cleaning member with respect to the pick-up plane is different from the distance of the cleaning member with respect to the pick-up plane in the other cleaning position.

Apparatuses for and methods of moving the ends of windrows inward are disclosed. The apparatuses of the present invention include a front end, a rear end and two opposing sides, the front end configured to be wider than the rear end, two skids attached to the two opposing sides, a gate rotatably attached to the rear end and configured to cover an opening in the rear end, a gate cylinder operably attached to the gate and configured to close the gate to collect fruit and/or nuts within the apparatus, and open the gate to distribute the fruit and/or nuts outside of the apparatus, thus eliminating the need to hand rake the ends of the windrows inward or to blow the ends of the windrow inward with a hand blower.
