An information processing apparatus comprises a first obtaining unit configured to obtain a predicted value of a yield of crops in a section where the crops are cultivated, a second obtaining unit configured to obtain a yield of the crops harvested in the section, and a control unit configured to notify progress of harvesting of the crops in the section, which is determined based on the predicted value obtained by the first obtaining unit and the yield obtained by the second obtaining unit.

A process for weighing a harvested crop stored in a tank of a harvesting machine, a frame supporting the tank is mounted on a wheel set by a lifting device which is operable to move the frame upwardly and downwardly upon control of a hydraulic system. The process controlling the hydraulic system and includes the steps of: determining at least one height position of the frame on the displacement course; measuring a lowering pressure and a raising pressure in the hydraulic system at the position; calculating, from the measured pressures, a balancing pressure for the frame. The process is performed before unloading the stored crop in order to calculate a loaded balancing pressure and after the unloading in order to calculate an empty balancing pressure. The weight of the stored crop is calculated from a pressure variation between the loaded balancing pressure and the empty balancing pressure.

A row unit for a header of an agricultural harvester. The row unit includes a frame, a first deck plate assembly mounted to the frame, and a second deck plate assembly mounted to the frame. The first and second deck plate assemblies each include a deck plate, a plurality of deck plate segments extending from the deck plate and moveable between a first position and a second position relative to the deck plate, and a plurality of biasing members for biasing each respective deck plate segment. The row unit includes both operator controlled macro adjustment and automatic micro adjustment of a gap between the first deck plate assembly and the second deck plate assembly. The micro adjustment is achieved through biasing members biasing each respective deck plate segment.

The present invention relates to a separator for separating harvested berries from other plant matter. The invention particularly relates to a separator that can be fitted to, positioned above, or integrated with, a collection bin and as such allows for material harvested by an automatic berry harvester to be process prior to deposition of the berries in the collection bin. In particular the berry harvester can be a grape harvester.

A destemmer for use in a fruit harvester includes a frame, a box carried by the frame, and an eccentric drive connected with the box. The box includes an inlet for receiving berries clusters. At least one top link interconnects the box and the frame. The top link include a first end pivotally connected to the frame, and a second end pivotally connected to the box. At least one bottom link interconnects the box and the frame. The bottom link include a first end pivotally connected to the frame, and a second end pivotally connected to the box. The longitudinal axis of each of the top link and the bottom link intersects at a virtual pivot axis, when viewed from a side of the box, which is located upstream from the inlet to the box, relative to a travel direction of the berries and MOG through the box.

The invention relates to a harvesting device for harvesting fruit hanging from a plant, comprising a frame displaceable in a transport direction, at least one container displaceable relative to the frame in a direction of extension substantially transversely of the transport direction; and at least one catcher mounted on the at least one container, wherein the at least one brush comprises an arm extending substantially in the direction of extension from the container, and a number of bristles which are attached to the arm and extend substantially parallel to the transport direction. The invention also relates to a method for harvesting such fruit, wherein use is made of such a harvesting device.
