Bale Stacker
A bale stacker and method of using a bale stacker for consolidating a plurality of bales into a bale stack. The bale stacker including a bale stacker chassis supported for translational motion over a surface and one or more: of a bale lift, a bale receiving platform disposed over the bale stacker chassis to receive bales released from the bale lift, a bale transfer table disposing a plurality of bales in bale stack, a bale stack bed having at least one fork movable to abut a bale stack on said bale stack bed, a bale shuffler operable to engage the bale stack to align the bales in the bale stack, and a bale stack push of operable to engage the bale stack disposed on said bale stack bed in primarily vertical orientation to push a plurality of bale stacks off from the bale stack bed.
AUTOMATED CAMERA SYSTEM CONTROL FOR HARVESTING MACHINE UNLOADING
A harvesting machine includes a header configured to gather harvested material into the harvesting machine during a harvesting operation, a conveyance subsystem configured to convey the harvested material from the harvesting machine to a receiving vehicle during the harvesting operation, an image capture system comprising at least one optical sensor, and a control system configured to determine a position of the receiving vehicle relative to the harvesting machine, determine an image magnification factor based on the determined position, and display, on a display device, an image of a portion of the receiving vehicle based on the image magnification factor.

COOKING GRILLS AND RELATED METHODS
An example cooking grill comprises a cooking chamber, and a leg coupled to the cooking chamber. The leg is to transition between: a deployed position in which the leg extends outward from the cooking chamber; and a collapsed position in which the leg is received within a channel on a bottom side of the cooking chamber.
Piler conveyor system
A piler conveyor system for screening debris such as tare dirt from materials such as beets as the materials are conveyed across a piler. The piler conveyor system generally includes a frame supporting an upper conveyor and a pair of lower conveyors. The upper conveyor is adapted to receive materials such as beets. As the materials are conveyed by the upper conveyor, debris such as tare dirt or the like will fall through screening openings in the upper conveyor and onto the lower conveyor. The lower conveyor may then dispense the debris through a debris opening. The materials will drop off the end of the upper conveyor and fall onto the second lower conveyor, which will convey the screened materials to be dispensed.
Commodity cart with improved loading positioning
A commodity cart includes at least one storage tank and a transfer arm having a product chute, a tube portion coupled to the product chute. The tube portion ends in a product outlet. A hydraulic system is coupled to the transfer arm and configured to move the transfer arm to a product loading position wherein the product chute is positioned at a location on the ground. A controller is configured to determine a desired fill vehicle position and generate an indication of the desired fill vehicle position.
