COMBO CROP HARVESTER CROP TRANSFER MEANS
A system conveying material-other-than-grain (MOG) from a harvesting machine to a packaging machine towed by the harvesting machine. The system includes an joint pivotably joining a harvesting machine hitch to a packaging machine hitch. An accelerator is mounted to the packaging machine hitch. The accelerator has a housing with a top-side inlet and a side outlet. A MOG-propelling disk is disposed in the housing and is rotatable about an axis. A conduit is disposed above the packaging machine hitch and has an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end coupled to the side outlet. The conduit has first and second opposing side portions and a top side portion without an opposing bottom portion, with at least part of the top side portion is parallel with the plane of the disk. The accelerator, conduit, and packaging machine are collectively in pivotal arrangement relative to the harvesting machine.

SEED CARRIER WITH PIVOTING CONVEYOR
A seed carrier includes a main hopper coupled with a frame via leg members. The main hopper has a discharge. A base plate is coupled with the frame. A support arm is rotatably coupled with the base plate at a first end. A belt driven conveyor having a conveyor hopper at a first end and a discharge at a second end is rotatably coupled with a second end of said support arm at an approximate center of gravity thereof. A latch mechanism is provided for detachably coupling the first end of the conveyor with the first end of the support arm such that the conveyor hopper is position below the main hopper discharge. When the conveyor is uncoupled from the first end of the support arm, the conveyor can rotate to a loading position wherein the discharge thereof can be positioned over the main hopper.

SYSTEM FOR MOWING PLANTS, IN PARTICULAR GRASS, AND METHOD OF FEEDING ANIMALS BY MEANS OF SUCH A SYSTEM
A system for mowing plants, in particular grass, includes a piece of land on which the plants grow, and an autonomous, self-propelled mowing vehicle. The mowing vehicle includes a mowing device for mowing plants on the piece of land while the mowing vehicle (hives across the piece of land, and a holder for accommodating plants mowed by the mowing device. A control system is provided for controlling the mowing vehicle. The system includes a dwelling space for keeping animals, such as cows, in particular an animal shed. The dwelling space includes a feeding area for feeding mowed plants to the animals. The feeding area in the dwelling space is connected to the piece of land by means of a travelable connection. The mowing vehicle includes a dispensing device for dispensing mowed plants accommodated in the holder. The control system is configured to (i) mow plants on the piece of land by means of the mowing device while the mowing vehicle drives across the piece of land, (ii) displace the mowing vehicle with mowed plants accommodated in the holder from the piece of land to the feeding area in the dwelling space, and (iii) dispense mowed plants to said feeding area by means of the dispensing device in order to feed the mowed plants to the animals.

Leaf hauling device
This device is intended to provide a quick and easy way for one person to load and transport a relatively large number and weight of tree leaves without a great amount of strain or strength. It's size and configuration allows leaves to be collected on the specially designed tarp which is then hooked to the top of the device, and then easily rolled away with one hand.
Agricultural equipment carrier
An agricultural system includes a carrier configured to transport an agricultural cart to a position proximate to or within an agricultural field. The carrier includes a rotatable base and is configured to receive the agricultural cart on the rotatable base in a docking position. The carrier is configured to move the agricultural cart from the docking position to an unloading position to unload agricultural product from within the agricultural cart to a storage bin via rotation of the rotatable base.

Fan-equipped dual-purpose grain cart for transporting and drying grain
A dual-purpose agricultural cart for transporting and conditioning grain or other particulate material. The cart features a transportable frame, a holding container for receiving and holding the particulate material, a fan, and one or more airflow channels each having an inlet fed by the fan and at least one outlet positioned to open into the holding container at an elevation at or proximate a lower end of the holding container. The particulate material is aerated via upward fan-driven airflow from the outlet(s) of the one or more airflow channels. The same cart used to transport grain between a combine harvester and road transport vehicle during harvest can be used after harvest, or during harvest delays, the dry harvested grain before long term storage or long-distance transport.
