09736982 · 2017-08-22 · ·

A grain tank for an agricultural harvester includes a floor, a plurality of upstanding walls, and an unloading conveyance. The floor has a plurality of side edges. Each wall has a lower edge positioned along a corresponding side edge of the floor. The unloading conveyance has an inlet in communication with an interior of the grain tank adjacent to the floor. At least one of the walls of the grain tank is movable relative to the floor between an expanded harvest position and a folded transport position.

20220311974 · 2022-09-29 ·

A work vehicle fleet includes a first model of work vehicle and a second model of work vehicle, different than the first model. The first model includes a first set of display devices; a first set of cameras; and a first controller configured to display a standard set of feeds from the associated first side, second side, and central location of the first set of cameras at the first set of display devices so that the associated feeds are arranged at the first side, the second side, and the central location, respectively, relative to the first operator FOV. The second model includes a second set of display devices; a second set of cameras; and a second controller configured to display so that the associated feeds are arranged at the first side, the second side, and the central location, respectively, relative to the second operator FOV.

Cart with folding auger having adjustable elevation

A cart having an adjustable elevation auger. A junction box may located within the opening of a sump of a bin of a cart. The junction box may have an open top, closed bottom and sides, and back wall. The back wall of the junction box may be secured to a bin wall by a hinge such that the junction box may pivot about a pivot axis. An auger housing may be connected to and extend from the junction box. An auger may extend through the auger housing and have an intake end disposed within the junction box. The auger housing and auger may pivot with the junction box about a pivot axis between a lowered position and an elevated position. The auger may be a corner auger and may be a folding auger.

PROCESS FOR WINDROW CHUTE CLEAN OUT WHILE OPERATING AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER

A spreader arrangement for an agricultural harvester includes a windrow chute having a first position for building a windrow in which the chute angles downwardly from a proximal edge to a distal edge of the chute, and a second position for cleanout of the chute in which the chute angles downwardly from the distal edge to the proximal edge of the chute. Adjustment from the first position to the second position and back to the first position can occur automatically when the combine is operating but not currently harvesting, such as during the time period between when a harvesting swath is completed and the next harvesting swath is commenced, so that accumulated crop residue material can be dislodged from the windrow chute without disrupting harvesting or the windrow building process.

Automatic start / stop controls for agricultural load and transfer equipment

A scale controller system and method of using the system is disclosed. The scale controller is adapted for use with a grain cart or similar implement that includes a discharge opening and conveyor. The system includes a scale and a plurality of sensors that work together to automate numerous functions that are typically performed manually. For example, the present invention discloses a system that automatically records the amount of material loaded or unloaded by continuously monitoring the load on a scale and the RPMs of a power take-off shaft that drives a conveyor.
