BAGGER FOR STAND-ON MOWER
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.
Mower for Attachment to an Agricultural Vehicle
A mower for attachment to an agricultural vehicle, the mower incorporating an E bracket including a column, a lower arm, an upper arm, and a medial arm, wherein each of the E bracket's arms has a proximal end fixedly attached to the column, and wherein each of the E bracket's arms is adapted for plant cutting; the mower further incorporating hitch arms for mounting the E bracket upon the rear end or front end of the agricultural vehicle; wherein each E bracket arm includes a downwardly opening housing within which a plurality of motor driven rotary blades are operatively mounted.
Conditioning roller assembly pivotable to open position for servicing
A conditioning roller assembly includes a first conditioning roller which is rotatably mounted on a first holder, a second conditioning roller which is rotatably mounted on a second holder, and a pivoting arrangement which includes a first component and a second component which are connected together by a hinge with an axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axes of the conditioning rollers, and a resilient arrangement for providing pre-tensioning of the conditioning rollers. The first holder and/or the second holder is mounted so as to be pivotable in each case about a pivot axis relative to the associated first component and/or second component for servicing purposes.
KNIFE HOLDER FOR COUNTERKNIFE BANK ASSEMBLY FOR COMBINE HARVESTER
A knife holder for a knife bank of an agricultural vehicle. The knife holder includes a body having opposing legs separated by a channel, wherein the channel is sized for receiving a shaft to which the knife holder is mounted; a mount for mounting the body to a knife element; and an opening for receiving a fastener for mounting the body to the shaft such that fastening the body to the shaft causes the legs to deform and compressively contact the shaft and thereby either prevent or limit inadvertent movement of the body relative to the shaft in a direction that is normal to a longitudinal axis of the shaft.
Agricultural harvesting vehicle
Harvesting vehicle, in particular forage harvester or combine harvester, comprising a mounting frame (10), wherein the mounting fame (10) is designed to couple an attachment to the mounting frame (10) and via the mounting frame (10) to the harvesting vehicle, and comprising a drive coupler (16) which engages with the mounting frame (10) and which is designed to form a drive connection between the attachment and the harvesting vehicle in order to transmit a drive power provided by the harvesting vehicle in the direction of the attachment, wherein the drive coupler (16) has a drive hub (17) which can be coupled to the harvesting vehicle, a coupling disk (19) which can be coupled to the attachment and a centering mandrel (22) which cooperates with the attachment, wherein the centering mandrel (22) is fixedly engaged with the coupling disk (19), a slide piece (24) which can be displaced in a translatory manner relative to the drive hub (17) is coupled fixedly in terms of rotation to the drive hub (17), and wherein the slide piece (24) is connected to the coupling disk (19) via universal joints (30, 31) such that the centering mandrel (22) can be displaced together with the coupling disk (19) and the slide piece (24) in a translatory manner relative to the drive hub (17).
