A bat tube for use with a harvester pick-up reel. The bat tube is configured to resist torsional loads, without having to use fasteners that engage holes in the bat tube. Preferably, the external surface of the bat tube provides at least one key or keyway that engages a corresponding keyway or key in the band or strap portion of the tines. As such, once a tine is engaged with the bat tube, the tine is generally prevented from rotating about the bat tube. Additionally, by not using fasteners to engage holes in the bat tube, spacing between the tines can be varied. The bat tube allows for tine fastening and torsional resistance without drilling or punching holes, which allows for easily variable tine spacings. It also allows for improved crop gathering and crop entry characteristics over a typical round profile.

An axial threshing/separating system having at least one spring tined accelerator cylinder, in where the accelerator cylinder includes a plurality of double torsional spring tine cylinder elements extending from the spring tined accelerator cylinder; and one or more spring tined axial rotors, in where each of the spring tined axial rotors includes a plurality of double torsional spring tine rotor elements extending from each of the spring tined axial rotors, in where each of the spring tined axial rotors is aligned such that a respective longitudinal axis of each spring tined axial rotor is substantially coplanar and substantially parallel to a respective longitudinal axis of each other spring tined axial rotor, and wherein a longitudinal axis of at least one spring tined accelerator cylinder is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of each spring tined axial rotor.

Mounting pads for attaching tines to a pick-up device of a crop implement such as a round baler may include a tab that extends from a body portion. The tab may be hinged to the main body to allow the tab to loop around the connecting loop of the tine.

A system for detecting one or more parameters associated with a header configured for use with an agricultural vehicle includes a header component and a radar sensor supported relative to the header component. The radar sensor has a field of view along which the radar sensor is configured to transmit radio waves for reflection off a surface. At least a portion of the header component is positioned within the field of view of the radar sensor or passes through the field of view of the radar sensor and is formed from one or more radar-transparent materials.

A harvesting device for agricultural products having an elongated shape, includes a frame having a main extension direction, a plurality of harvesting elements for agricultural products, each including an elongated harvesting prong, a plurality of bands attached to the frame, arranged along the main extension direction and spaced apart so that each harvesting element is at least partially interposed between two successive bands. A transport path includes a first section, where a prong portion radially outside the band has a constant or increasing size, and a second section, where a prong portion radially outside the band has a decreasing size to a disengagement point. A plurality of sorting members is each associated to a band and positioned below the band, along the second section of the transport path, in which each sorting member is rotatable about its central axis.
