A trailer (1) for round bales of fodder material comprising a bed (19) and a pick-up mechanism (35) for transferring bales from the ground onto the bed (19). A lifting mechanism (38) adjacent the front end (10) of the bed (19) is provided with first and second receiving elements (39,40) for receiving four bales sequentially from the pick-up mechanism (35). The lifting mechanism (38) is urgeable by a main drive ram (60) from a first state adjacent the front end (10) of the bed (19) in a rearward direction for transferring four bales on the lifting mechanism (38) to an intermediate framework (26) of the bed (19). The next four bales on the lifting mechanism (38) urge the bales already on the intermediate framework (26) onto the rear framework (27) as those bales on the lifting mechanism (38) are being urged to the intermediate framework (26), and so on until the trailer has been loaded with sixteen bales. The rear framework (27) is pivotally coupled to the chassis (3) from a hauling state to a discharge state for discharging the bales onto the ground with the longitudinal central geometrical axis of the bales extending vertically.

A baler including a feeder duct and a feeder operable within the feeder duct. The feeder includes a tine bar holding member having rotatably mounted thereon at least one tine bar having mounted thereon a set of tines. The tine bar is rotatable about its own axis relative to the tine bar holding member and is rotatable together with the tine bar holding member about an offset axis. The feeder further includes a sun gear co-axial with and rotatable about the offset axis relative to the tine bar holding member; a mechanical coupling coupling the tine bar to the sun gear; and an adjustment system configured for active adjustment of the angular position of the sun gear about the offset axis as the tine bar is rotated about the offset axis.

A vehicle control system for an agricultural vehicle comprising a processing circuit including a processor and memory, the memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processing circuit to receive position information associated with a position of at least one of a second agricultural vehicle or a vehicular implement, determine, based on the position information, an unloading point associated with a position of an unloading mechanism relative to a receiving container, store the determined position, operate at least one of the agricultural vehicle or the second agricultural vehicle to position the receiving container such that a subsequent unloading point is the same as the determined unloading point.

A stack feeder bed wagon is provided for pickup of one or more mid-size or big bales in an agricultural field for transport that simultaneously tilts and rotates a longitudinal bale 90 degrees upwardly and transversely over, adjacent, and along the forward upper edge of a stack bed for pushback onto the bed for transport or for consolidation with one or more bales into a single layer stack load on the bed that can be offloaded from the wagon for later pickup or that can be transported for deposit in a different place; and the wagon can be used for the retrieval of a load from a storage surface and when interchangeably equipped with a bale knife assembly that selectively cooperates with a bale moving crossfeed cable system can provide a series of bale segments to feed animals.

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.

A bubble-up auger assembly for an agricultural vehicle includes a rotatable shaft having flightings and a first connection end that is configured to be releasably engaged with an input shaft for rotating the rotatable shaft. A tube surrounds the rotatable shaft. A linkage guides movement of the auger assembly between a raised position and a lowered position. In the raised position, the connection end of the rotatable shaft is positioned to be engaged with the input shaft. In the lowered position, the connection end of the rotatable shaft is positioned to be separated from the input shaft. As the auger assembly is moved from the raised position to the lowered position, in a first movement, the linkage is configured to initially translate the auger assembly in a first direction, and in a second movement, the linkage is configured to rotate the auger assembly to the lowered position.
