The invention relates to an automotive construction machine with a transport device extending in the working direction beyond the machine frame, in particular a road milling machine or surface miner. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for displaying an image of the surroundings of an automotive construction machine. The construction machine according to the invention has an image display device for displaying a bird's eye view image of the surroundings of the construction machine, which image display device has a camera system with a plurality of cameras for recording individual overlapping image regions of the construction machine surroundings from different image recording positions, and an image processing system. The image processing system is configured in such a way that image details of the individual image regions are joined together to form a total image from a bird's eye view. The camera system has at least one camera which is arranged on the transport device in such a way that the viewing direction of the camera is directed in the direction of the machine frame, and at least one further camera which is arranged on the machine frame in such a way that the viewing direction of the camera is directed away from the machine frame. Using the cameras directed into and away from the machine frame, the machine operator obtains a complete surround view, which includes the region covered by the transport device in the working direction in front of the construction machine.

A method for transferring endangered land from a first location in a first arrangement to a second location in the same first arrangement is disclosed. The method includes cutting, with a first cutting tool, a first pair of parallel rows in a first section of land of a first location. Then cutting a second pair of parallel rows, in the first section, that are perpendicular to the first pair of parallel rows creating an intersection of land between the first and second rows defining a transferable parcel and cutting a bottom side of the transferable parcel of land. The next step in the method is to lift the transferable parcel from a ground, placing the transferable parcel onto a portable bed, transferring the portable bed to the second location, and transplanting the transferable parcel into a receiving section of land of the second location in the same first arrangement.

Equipment (10) for excavating solid surfaces S, such as made of asphalt or concrete or similar solid materials, for example, in particular for digging trenches in said solid surfaces, said equipment (10) comprising working or digging means (16) rotationally fixed to a main frame (11), and an adjustment frame (30) defining at least one substantially flat contact portion (33) adapted to be placed in contact with a corresponding portion of the surface S to be worked, where the position of said adjustment frame (30) with respect to said main supporting frame (11) may be adjusted so as to adjust the working depth K of said working means (16); and where said adjustment frame (30) is rotationally disengaged from said main supporting frame (11) so that the adjustment frame always perfectly rests on the surface to be worked S irrespective of the particular working conditions.

An earth working apparatus, for laying a pipe or cable underground. The earth working apparatus comprises a plurality of trenching modules. Each trenching module is arranged sequentially in a first plane and comprises a cutter in communication with a conveyor. In a second aspect, each trenching module cuts a layer of earth and conveys said layer of earth to a collection device or to a collection area.

A machine for cutting material includes an undercarriage including propulsion device for propelling the machine and a cutter head disposed on a tool support and positioning assembly movably supported by the undercarriage to remove material from a cutting surface. The machine further includes a plurality of ground-engaging devices connected to the undercarriage that can be simultaneously raised and lowered with respect to a ground floor. Examples of ground-engaging devices include stabilizers for stabilizing the machine when milling or cutting material and a load shield that prevents material from scattering underneath the machine.

A bucket wheel machine 100 having a base 102 and an operating block 104. The operating block has a bucket wheel 106, a bearing 112,114, and at least one of a ring chute 120, a bucket wheel chute 108, and a bucket wheel drive 116. The operating block 104 is detachably attached to the base of the bucket wheel machine 102. The operating block 104 also has a support frame 130 which is connected to the bearing 112,114.

A machine includes a first implement, a first machine control component, and a control system which includes a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor executes instructions stored in the memory to cause the control system to detect the first implement, determine whether a first configuration corresponding to the first implement is stored in the memory, and configure the first machine control component based on the first configuration when the first configuration is stored in the memory.

A cutting tool (1) for producing a narrow trench (2) in the ground (3) for laying cables (4) or the like, comprising a carrier device (5) which has a hub region (6) for connecting the cutting tool (1) to a rotary drive (7) and a peripheral region (8), wherein arranged in the peripheral region (8) of the carrier device (5) are cutting segments (9) spaced from each other in the axial direction (10), wherein the carrier device (5) is in one piece and has a peripheral surface (11) at which are arranged raised portions (12, 13) which project from the peripheral surface (11) in the radial direction (14) and on which the cutting segments (9) are arranged.

A dredging head assembly for deploying on the bed of a body of water, is provided, the assembly comprising a cutter housing having a cutting opening for extending over a section of the bed from which material is to be removed; a cutting assembly disposed within the cutter housing, the cutting assembly operable through the cutting opening in the cutter housing to loosen material from the bed; and an outlet opening in the cutter housing for removing water and entrained material from within the cutter housing under suction; wherein the cutter housing comprises a plurality of holes therein, in use water being drawn into the cutter housing through the holes under the action of reduced fluid pressure within the cutter housing.
