A combine including a feeder housing for receiving harvested crop, a separating system for threshing the harvested crop to produce grain and residue, a residue spreader wheel spinning at a speed for expelling the residue from the combine, a residue deflector positioned at an angle for deflecting the expelled residue in a predetermined direction, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a heading of the combine, determine wind effects on the expelled residue based on an observation of the expelled residue at the determined heading, and adjust at least one of the speed of the residue spreader wheel or the angle of the residue deflector based on the wind effects to achieve a desired residue spread at the determined heading.

A forage harvester configured for chopping harvested crops and producing a stream of chopped crop material. The harvester includes a rotatable blower drum mounted in a blower housing, for propelling the stream of crop material into an outlet duct of the harvester. The blower drum has an open structure which allows a flow of air in the axial direction of the drum. The blower drum is mounted between two sidewalls of the blower housing, at least one of the sidewalls comprising one or more air inlet openings. The harvester further includes at least one set of axial flow turbine blades, mounted between the blower drum and one or both of the sidewalls of the blower housing, the blades being rotatable about the blower drum's rotation axis.

A bagger attachment for use with a stand-on lawn mower. The bagger includes, in some embodiments, an impeller, a duct, and one or more bags which are covered by a hood. The hood is attached to a pivot frame that allows movement of the hood between open and closed positions. The bagger attachment may also include a frame assembly that facilitates mounting and removal of the bagger attachment from the mower. The bagger attachment may either contain removable bags, or may include a discharge door for dumping the clippings.

A whole-stalk or sectioning type combined sugarcane harvester, including: a frame, a sugarcane root grinding cutter (48), a plurality of rollers (59) for scraping sugarcane leaves, peeling sugarcane peels and conveying sugarcane stalks by using circular plates arranged at intervals, sugarcane pressing cover plates (82), sugarcane leaf and peel blocking barriers (75), a sugarcane stalk guide plate (78), rollover safety devices, anti-rollover regulators, and a whole-stalk sugarcane bundling and 180-degree left and right steering conveyor, wherein the sugarcane root grinding cutter (48) is mounted at a front end of the frame in a traveling direction; two rear sides of the frame are each provided with one rollover safety device, and the top of the frame is provided with the anti-rollover regulators; the rollers (59) are mounted on the frame; the sugarcane pressing cover plates (82) are mounted on the top surfaces of circular plates of the rollers (59), and the sugarcane leaf and peel blocking barriers (75) and the sugarcane stalk guide plate (78) are mounted behind the rollers (59); and the whole-stalk sugarcane bundling and 180-degree left and right steering conveyor is mounted at a rear end of the frame in the traveling direction.

A lawn mower includes a main body portion and a lawn collecting container arranged at a rear of the main body portion and connected with the main body portion which can be freely disassembled and assembled relative to the main body portion. A cylindrical housing part is formed on the main body portion and provided with an opening at a bottom part of the main body portion, and a mowing blade is housed in the housing part. When the lawn collecting container is removed from the main body portion and the main body portion is vertical with a rear part of the main body portion is configured as a lower side, the lawn collecting container can be mounted to the bottom part, part of the lawn collecting container enters the housing part from the bottom part, and an inner surface of the housing part can support the lawn collecting container.

A harvesting machine is disclosed along with a method of operating the harvesting machine. The harvesting machine includes a frame having a first end and a second end. A rotatable pick-up head is pivotally mounted on the first end and is capable of urging a crop into the machine. A cutting mechanism is mounted on a bottom plate for cutting the stems of the plants. A crimper mechanism is positioned downstream of the bottom plate and is capable of compacting the cut stems into a moving web. A moisture removal mechanism is positioned after the crimper mechanism to lower the moisture in the cut stems. A crop converging mechanism is located downstream of the moisture removal mechanism and reduces the width of the moving web into a ribbon. A chopper then chops the ribbon into small pieces so that they can be blown into a storage wagon for transport.

A pickup assembly for an agricultural harvester includes a pickup assembly frame including a forward portion and a rearward portion. A pair of gauge wheels are attached to the forward portion of the pickup assembly frame, and at least one support wheel is attached to the rearward portion of the pickup assembly frame. The relative position of the support wheel is adjustable with respect to the pickup assembly frame.

A forage harvester has multiple working elements for carrying out a crop handling process, a drive system which is divided into a main drive train that includes mechanically driven working elements, and an auxiliary drive train that includes hydraulically driven working elements, a driver assistance system which comprises a memory for storing data and a computing device for processing data stored in the memory, as well as a graphical user interface. The working elements consist of at least one adjustable crop handler, at least one actuator system for adjusting and/or actuating the crop handler, and a control unit for controlling the actuator system. The working element is designed as an automatic adjuster whose mode of operation can be optimized by the driver assistance system. The driver assistance system feeds a throughput-proportional load signal, which can be determined by at least one sensor system, to the particular automatic adjuster.

A method for operating a harvester may include initially operating the harvester in a discharge harvesting mode such that harvested crops are conveyed to a distal end of an elevator of the harvester and subsequently discharged from the harvester through a discharge opening defined by a storage hopper located at the distal end of the elevator. The method also includes reducing an operating speed of the elevator and blocking the discharge opening defined by the storage hopper upon receipt of an operator input associated with operating the harvester in a storage harvesting mode. Additionally, the method includes actively adjusting the operating speed of the elevator based on a crop flow parameter of the harvester as the harvested crops expelled from the distal end of the elevator are being stored within a storage volume of the storage hopper.

A harvesting attachment includes a supporting frame, which is movable in a forward direction over a field. A pick-up device is attached to the supporting frame for picking up crop produce from the field. A height-adjustable cross-feeding auger is attached to the supporting frame. The cross-feeding auger is driveable by a drive shaft rotatably supported on the frame. A telescopic cardan shaft is arranged between the drive shaft and the cross-feeding auger to communicate torque therebetween.
