At least one foot support body may be operably connected to each of the frame members. The upper portion of each frame member may be operably connected to a frame of the agricultural vehicle. The frame of the agricultural vehicle may comprise a fore and an aft. The ladder may comprise a deployed position and an angled stowed position. The angled stowed position may comprise the first frame member and the second frame member being upward and rearward towards the aft of the agricultural vehicle frame.

AGRICULTURAL OR INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE LADDER WITH POWERED ELEVATING STEPS

A powered ladder is operable to move a person vertically relative to an agricultural or industrial vehicle. The ladder broadly includes an elongated ladder frame, a step, and a step drive. The ladder frame includes a pair of ladder rails that cooperatively define an upright ladder axis and a path therebetween, with the path extending along the ladder axis. The step is shiftably attached to the ladder frame and is positioned at least partly within the path. The step drive is drivingly connected relative to the step to drive the step between upper and lower positions.

Power ladder system for agricultural vehicles
09649984 · 2017-05-16 ·

A power ladder system for an agricultural vehicle includes an agricultural vehicle having a stationary platform and a movable platform with a ladder section connected to the movable platform. An actuator is connected to the movable platform which is configured to move the movable platform between a retracted position and an extended position. An engagement member selectively connects the actuator to the movable platform such that when the engagement member is disengaged the movable platform may be manually operated. The system is configured to automatically extend or retract the movable platform based on various inputs such as pressing a button on a remote or on the ladder, placing the agricultural vehicle in a drive mode, sensing motion of the agricultural vehicle, and opening the door, among other triggers.

DEFLECTOR DOOR FOR ACCESSING A SIEVE OF A COMBINE HARVESTER HAVING A SEED MILL
20250081888 · 2025-03-13 · ·

An agricultural harvester includes a straw hood having a hollow interior space for receiving material other than grain (MOG) from a threshing and separating system of the harvester and chaff from a sieve of a cleaning system of the harvester. A weed seed mill is mounted to the straw hood. An access door is moveably mounted to the straw hood between a lowered operational position and a raised service position. In the lowered operational position, the access door is positioned to direct the stream of chaff either into or towards the inlet of the weed seed mill. In the raised service position, a user-accessible passageway is formed from an exterior of the agricultural harvester to the sieve such that a user can access the sieve from an exterior of the harvester.

OVER-CENTER LATCH WITH MOUNT, BASE PLATE, LEVER, AND CENTER PIN FOR COMBINE CONCAVES

Automated grain filling system and related methods

An automated grain filling system including a sensor and a processor. The sensor is configured to detect at least a portion of an upper perimeter of a receiving container and at least a portion of an upper surface of a grain mound in the receiving container. The processor is configured to compare the detected portion of the upper perimeter and the detected portion of the upper surface, and direct the operation of a grain transfer element. The grain transfer element is configured to transfer grain from a supplying container to the receiving container. The directed operation of the grain transfer element is based at least in part on a result of the comparison of the detected portion of the upper perimeter and the detected portion of the upper surface.

Ground level access point for grain carts

A grain cart having an access door. The grain cart can have a storage hopper supported on a frame and defining an interior space. The storage hopper having an upper wall; and, a lower wall extending downwards and angled inwards with an opening passing through the lower wall. The access door is sized to cover the opening and opens into the interior space. A ladder assembly is attached to the lower wall below the opening and foldable between an extended position to provide access to the opening and the access door and a retracted position.

Automated powered ladder

Systems and methods utilizing automation logic for powered ladders of work vehicles, including harvesters. A portion of the powered ladder can be displaced relative to other portions of the ladder so that the powered ladder is in either a folded or unfolded orientation. A controller can determine whether a secondary device, such as, for example, a header, is attached to the work vehicle. In response to at least determining the secondary device is not attached to the work vehicle, the folded powered ladder can be automatically displaced from an extended position to a retraced position. Upon detection of either or both a change in position of an operator, and a predetermined operational status of the work vehicle, the ladder can be displaced away from the retracted position, and the second portion of the powered ladder can be displaced so that the powered ladder can return to the unfolded orientation.
