Crop package accumulator
An agricultural bale-processing machine includes a baling chamber and an accumulator for carrying bales received from the baling chamber. The accumulator includes a base frame mountable behind the baler, a carriage mounted to the base frame to be movable relative to the base frame in a lateral direction by at least one actuator. The carriage has a platform having upstanding side walls defining a fixed width crop package receiving area therebetween.
Agricultural baler including baler gate control system
The disclosure provides a control system for agricultural equipment. The agricultural equipment includes a baler configured to produce a crop package. The control system includes a crop package barrier coupled to the baler and movable between a closed position and an open position. The control system also includes a crop package transfer system configured to move the crop package. The control system further includes a barrier control system configured to restrict movement of the crop package barrier as the crop package barrier is moving toward the open position from the closed position in response to at least one signal indicating the crop package is in an unpreferred location.
Strategic bale placement device
An agricultural baler comprising a baler mechanism. The agricultural baler comprises at least one structural member and a first ground engaging support is pivotally coupled to the structural member about a pivotal axis. A second ground engaging support is rotationally coupled to the structural member about an aft rotational axis. The baler mechanism is pivotally connected to the structural member at a baler connection. The baler connection is located at least one of between the aft rotational axis and the pivotal axis and at the pivotal axis. A bale carriage is coupled to the structural member.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY CRAWLER-TYPE PICKUP BALER AND AUTOMATIC BALE STACKING SYSTEM
A high-efficiency pickup baler crawler and automatic bale stacking system, includes a straw pickup stubble harvesting device, continuous conveying preloading device, a lower feeding type compression and baling device, bale transportation and arraying device, bale stacking device, walking device and counting control. The counting control the amount of bale compression chamber discharge, which is used to control the bale conveying device and bale stacking device, achieve the goals of automatic conveying, pushing, stacking, avoids artificial secondary handling and improve the working efficiency of the system.
Agricultural bale carriage wings
An agricultural baler includes a baler mechanism and a carriage assembly. The carriage assembly is coupled to the baler mechanism. The carriage assembly includes a fixed section and at least one extending section. The extending section is extendable in a direction generally normal to the direction of travel.
Retraction mechanism for extendable carriages of an agricultural accumulator
An accumulator is coupled to an agricultural baler and includes a frame having a first end, a second end, and a support structure positioned between the first and the second ends. The accumulator includes a crop package moving assembly moveably coupled to the frame in a first direction and in a second direction. The crop package moving assembly is configured to move a crop package in the first direction. The accumulator includes a carriage coupled to the first end of the frame and configured to move relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position. The carriage is configured to move into the extended position to support the crop package. The carriage is also configured to move from the extended position into the retracted position in response to the crop package being removed from the carriage and the crop package moving assembly moving in the second direction.
SHIELDING ASSEMBLY FOR DEBRIS MANAGEMENT
A shield assembly that may be disposed within an engine compartment of an agricultural vehicle, the shield assembly includes a plurality of shields that may block buildup of debris within the engine compartment. At least one shield of the plurality of shields includes a sloped surface that may direct debris away from the engine compartment. The shield assembly also includes a plurality of ducts formed between the plurality of shields. The plurality of ducts may redirect cooling fluid from a cooling fan package to the engine compartment to remove debris from within the engine compartment.
Mechanical linkage for agricultural accumulator including extendable carriages
An accumulator is coupled to an agricultural baler and is configured to support a crop package exiting the baler. The accumulator includes a frame having a first end, a second end, and a support surface positioned between the first and the second ends. The support surface is configured to support the crop package that exits the baler. The accumulator also includes a carriage coupled to the first end of the frame and linearly moveable relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position. The carriage is configured to support the crop package when in the extended position. The accumulator further includes a linkage coupled to at least one of the frame and the carriage. The linkage is configured to move the carriage to at least one of the extended and retracted positions.
BALE ACCUMULATOR
The disclosure provided herein is directed to a bale accumulator that receives a bale and then using an intake conveyor transports the bale onto the bale accumulator. A push ram removes the bale from the intake conveyor and onto a flip tray that flips the bale onto an edge of the bale and onto a trough ram. The trough ram pushes the bale onto a trough that when filled with bales by the trough ram actuates a fence ram. The fence ram moves the bales onto a bed. When the bed is filled or at the selection of an operator, an unloading assembly moves the bales off the bed and onto a ground surface, which is facilitated by the bed having a dovetail assembly that lowers the bed to the ground surface. An adjustable fence allows modification to the number of bales that can fit onto the bed.
BALE HANDLING SYSTEM FOR HIGH CAPACITY BALER
A bale singulator for a baling machine. The baling machine comprises a landing section configured to receive (i) a first series of first individual bales from a first baling chamber, and (ii) a second series of second individual bales from a second baling chamber. The baling machine further comprises an exit section configured to receive the first and second individual bales from the landing section and to form a single row of the first and second individual bales. The exit section includes a stop assembly comprising a first stop element configured to selectively restrict movement of the first individual bales. The stop assembly is configured such when the second individual bales are passing through said exit section, the first stop element is restricting movement of the first individual bales.
