A debris-collecting apparatus includes a mobile frame, an input portion configured to receive incoming air and debris, and a bagging system having a porous bag and a dust skirt surrounding the porous bag.

The present invention relates to an agricultural machine of the mower type comprising a frame carrying a cutter bar comprising cutting rotors driven in rotation about respective parallel axes and a belt conveyor comprising an endless belt driven in motion and guided between two rollers driven in rotation about their axis, the conveyor being arranged behind the cutter bar to collect the harvest cut and to move it transversely to the direction of advance. The axes of the rollers of the conveyor are substantially parallel to the axes of the cutting rotors, the machine further comprising a collecting shield fastened to the belt conveyor and extending at least partially under the latter and towards the cutter bar while being adjacent to the latter, and a space forming a transverse conveying channel is provided above the collecting shield between the conveying surface of the belt and the cutter bar. The agricultural machine furthermore comprises an upper deflector extending above the cutter bar and above the conveying surface of the belt.

A sensor detects a variable indicative of a position of a receiving vehicle relative to a harvester during a harvester operation in which a material conveyance subsystem on the harvester is conveying harvested material to the receiving vehicle. If the receiving vehicle is in a compromised position in which it is out of range of the material conveyance subsystem or is about to be out of range, then a control signal is generated that can alert the operator of the harvester, automatically control harvester speed, or perform other control operations.

A sugarcane harvester for harvesting sugarcane including a cutter configured to cut sugarcane into a sugarcane mat. An extractor is operatively connected to the cutter, and includes a fan housing having an inlet configured to receive the sugarcane mat and an outlet configured to discharge crop debris. A fan is located in the fan housing to move the sugarcane mat through the fan housing and includes a motor, blades rotatably coupled to the motor, and a blade angle of incidence mechanism operatively connected to the blades, wherein the blade angle of incidence mechanism adjusts the angle of incidence of the blades with respect to the motor. Sensors identify an air flow through the fan housing or a load placed on the motor during movement of the sugarcane mat through the fan housing. The angle of incidence of the blades is adjusted based on one or both of the air flow through the fan housing or the load placed on the motor.

The disclosure provides a string trimmer. The string trimmer includes a protective shield, a first motor, a blade and a fan. The first motor is arranged on one side of the protective shield, and a first rotation shaft of the first motor penetrates the protective shield to the other side of the protective shield. The blade is arranged on the other side of the protective shield, and the blade is connected with the first rotation shaft. The fan is arranged on the same side as the first motor, and the fan is mounted on the protective shield through a second rotation shaft. Wherein, a rotation speed ratio between the second rotation shaft and the first rotation shaft ranges from 0.5 to 4. With the string trimmer of the disclosure, the rotation speed of the blade and the fan are different.

Lawnmowers are provided. A lawnmower includes a seat configured to receive a lawnmower operator; a mowing deck having one or more cutting implements and a discharge chute; and a bagging system in fluid communication with the discharge chute through a tube, wherein the lawnmower has a first configuration when the tube is coupled to the lawnmower, wherein the lawnmower has a second configuration when the tube is not coupled to the lawnmower, wherein the tube is disposed at a lateral side of the lawnmower in the first configuration, wherein the lawnmower defines a maximum lateral width in a lateral direction, and wherein the lateral width is less than 38 inches in both the first configuration and the second configuration.
