Reel assembly for an agricultural header
A reel assembly for an agricultural header includes a reel arm configured to rotatably couple to a frame of the agricultural header and configured to support a reel of the reel assembly. The reel assembly also includes a bracket extending from the reel arm and configured to support a device. The reel assembly further includes a cable assembly configured to maintain an orientation between the device and the frame of the agricultural header as the reel arm rotates relative to the frame of the agricultural header.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STEERING A HARVESTING IMPLEMENT OF AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER
An agricultural harvester includes a frame, a feeder coupled to the frame, and a harvesting implement coupled to the feeder. Additionally, the agricultural harvester includes an actuator configured to rotate the harvesting implement relative to the frame between a non-turned position and a turned position. Moreover, the agricultural harvester includes a sensor configured to capture data indicative of a turn being made by the agricultural harvester and a computing system communicatively coupled to the sensor. In this respect, the computing system is configured to determine a magnitude of the turn based on the data captured by the sensor. In addition, the computing system is configured to compare the determined magnitude of the turn to a minimum threshold value and, when the determined magnitude exceeds the minimum threshold value, control the operation of the actuator such that the harvesting implement is rotated to the turned position.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF A HARVESTING IMPLEMENT OF AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER
An agricultural harvester includes a frame, a feeder coupled to the frame, and a harvesting implement coupled to the feeder. Furthermore, the agricultural harvester includes a first actuator including an extendible rod, with the first actuator coupled between one of the frame and the feeder or the feeder and the harvesting implement. Moreover, the agricultural harvester includes a second actuator including an extendible rod, with the second actuator coupled between the one of the frame and the feeder or the feeder and the harvesting implement such that an oblique angle is defined between the first and second actuators. In this respect, the rods of the first and second actuators are configured to be extended differing amounts such that harvesting implement is moved relative to the frame along two degrees of freedom.
Arrangement for controlling the operation of a draper belt header
An arrangement for controlling the operation of a draper belt header of a combine harvester includes a central belt conveyor of the draper belt header having a drive for operably driving the conveyor and two outer belt conveyors attached to a feeder house of the combine harvester. The feeder house has a controllable height which may be controllably adjusted by an actuator. The arrangement further includes a control unit operable to stop the drive of the central belt conveyor or move it into a reversing mode if the feeder house is being raised by the actuator.
Mobile casino jackpot payment reporting system with secure form reporting to customer
Relative to a gaming system, a jackpot or game win processing device and server are configured to receive acknowledgement from a player regarding a gaming win award, such as input to the game win processing device of a signature by the player to gaming win forms. In response, the server is configured to generate at least one gaming win reporting form, such as a W2G, to generate a security code from at least two elements of personal information regarding the player, such as obtained from a casino player tracking server, to then secure the at the least one reporting form and then email the secure form to the player.
Cutting Mechanism with Cutting Elements Which Are Mounted in a Height-Elastic Manner
The aim of the invention is to mount the cutting elements in a height-elastic manner in order to allow the cutter bar to be guided as close to the base as possible and in the process reduce the risk of damage in the event of contacting the base. This is achieved in that the adjustment drive (22) is rotatably connected to a first side (28) of a rocker lever (24) which can be rotated about an axis (26) and the second side (30) of which rotatably engages with an energy store (32) that is adjustable in length, and the frame part (6) can be moved against the force of the energy store (32) that is adjustable in length by the swinging arms (12) via a rocking movement of the rocker lever (24) about the axis (26) miming transversely to the working direction of the cutting mechanism (4) when a lifting force acts on at least one swinging arm (12).
Position controlled gauge wheels on a harvesting machine header that move with a feeder house move command
A header has a position controlled gauge wheel that is controlled using a position actuator. The position actuator is locked when the gauge wheel is in a selected position, relative to a mainframe of the header. An operator input, changing the position of the header, is detected and the position actuator is unlocked to accommodate movement of the header, based on the detected operator input signal.
CONTROLLABLE END DIVIDERS
An agricultural system includes a corn head with an end divider and an actuator that moves the end divider between a raised position and a retracted position. An actuator controller receives an input and automatically controls the actuator to move the end divider to a position based upon the input.
Harvesting header segment display and map
Method and apparatus for presenting information associated with a multi-segment header of an agricultural harvester. The operational states of the segments are monitored and used to present information. Examples of presented information include graphics depicting which segments are operational and which segments are non-operational, crop coverage maps, and crop yield maps.
Cutting Unit Having Sensors for Height Control
The present invention relates to a cutting unit (2) for attachment to the height-adjustable intake duct (6) of a harvester (4). In order to improve the sensor-supported height guidance of cutting units, it is proposed to provide at least one additional load sensor (26) which measures the load (28) with which the cutting unit (2) loads the intake duct (6), in order to calculate a height-control-relevant signal (32) from the transmitted sensor values (25) of the distance sensor (18) and the load sensor (26) via an evaluation device (24), which signal (32) is transmitted to the interface (34).
