A harvester for harvesting a produce planted in a field is provided. An exemplary harvester comprises a cutting and gripping unit, comprising: a top frame; a base ring structure; a plurality of supports arranged in a circular configuration to form a cage-like structure, wherein proximal ends of the plurality of supports are affixed to the top frame and distal ends of the plurality of supports are affixed to the base ring structure; a set of grippers connected to the top frame; a blade rotatably connected to the base ring structure, wherein the blade is configured to cut the produce while at least a part of the produce is enclosed within the plurality of supports and secured by the set of grippers.

A combine harvester includes a feederhouse mounted to a chassis adapted at a front end to support a crop gathering header, a duct mounted on the feederhouse that is connected to a crop conveying passage of the feederhouse via a set of suction openings, a set of vent openings in the duct, each of the vent openings having a respective closure element movable between an open position and a closed position, and a fan arranged within the duct that can be operated in a first direction to create a suction airflow to extract dust from the crop conveying passage and discharge the dust through the duct, and in a second direction to create a blowing airflow to open the closure elements and vent air through the vent openings.

A reel power system for a header of an agricultural system includes an electrical generator having a stator and a rotor rotatably engaged with the stator. The stator is configured to be non-rotatably coupled to a support structure of a reel of the header. The rotor is configured to non-rotatably engage a base of the header. Furthermore, the reel is configured to rotate relative to the base. The electrical generator is configured to generate electrical power in response to rotation of the rotor.

A hydraulic transaxle facilitates mounting a parking brake unit which requires no link mechanism and is compact. The parking brake unit includes a brake rotor provided on a rotation shaft and a locking member being displaceable between a first position where the brake rotor is locked and a second position where the brake rotor is unlocked. The locking member includes a locking portion which is engaged in a recess formed in the brake rotor that locks the brake rotor in the first position, and a non-locking portion which is placed at a position corresponding to the recess and which separates from the brake rotor in the second position. The hydraulic transaxle further includes an oil-supply mechanism capable of displacing the locking member to the second position.
