An agricultural harvester includes a straw hood having a hollow interior space for receiving material other than grain (MOG) from a threshing and separating system of the harvester and chaff from a cleaning system of the harvester. A drive system is provided for powering a straw chopper and a weed seed mill. The drive system includes a single belt positioned outside of the straw hood that is wound at least partially around (i) a straw chopper pulley that powers the straw chopper, (ii) a weed seed mill pulley that powers the weed seed mill, and (iii) a power take off shaft of the harvester that receives power from an engine or other power source of the harvester.

An embodiment includes a combine having a feeder housing for receiving harvested crop, a separating system for threshing the harvested crop to separate grain from residue, a residue spreader wheel spinning for expelling the residue from the combine, and a controller that controls the combine. The controller is configured to control the residue spreader wheel to continuously oscillate between a first speed less than a nominal speed and a second speed greater than the nominal speed while spreading the residue.

A work machine receives a thematic map that maps values of a variable to different geographic locations at a worksite. Control zones are dynamically identified on the thematic map and actuator settings are dynamically identified for each control zone. A position of the work machine is sensed, and actuators on the work machine are controlled based upon the control zones that the work machine is in, or is entering, and based upon the settings corresponding to the control zone. These control zones and settings are dynamically adjusted based on in situ (field) data collected by sensors on the work machine.

A self-propelled harvesting machine such as a combine harvester has multiple working units for processing crop picked up from a field, a driver assistance system for the sensor-supported control of the working units, an environmental sensor system for detecting environmental information and spatial areas of applicability located in the environment of the harvesting machine. The driver assistance system has a memory for storing data and a computing unit for processing data, including the data stored in the memory. A functional system model for at least one part of the harvesting machine is stored in the memory. The computing unit functions as a characteristic control on the basis of the system model and autonomously determines machine parameters of at least one working unit and specifies these to the particular working unit.

A harvester and processor for peanuts that comprises a drag type machine to be towed and actuated by a conventional tractor, which has various double assemblies to harvest lined up peanuts and process them through various steps of cleaning, up to the separation of the cleaned grains that are stored in an embedded tipper bucket, and to perform all this, the machine contains a chassis (1), that on its bottom side is supported by wheels (3), while on its top side is integrated with a plate body (4) forming a mono block structure for the assembling of all the embedded assemblies, starting with the frontal hitch pole (5) integrated with the transmission assembly (6) which is responsible for the actuation of various parts of the machine, specially two harvesting conveyor belts (8), anti-jamming receptive boxes (9), threshing cylinders (10), and in these cylinders starts the cleaning process together with the vibrating sieves (11) and the ventilation assembly (12), being that the cleaned fruits are delivered to a receptive chute (13), where they are collected by a bucket elevator (14) and dropped inside of a tipper bucket (15).

A combine harvester includes a threshing device 4 configured to perform a threshing process of threshing reaped grain culm in a threshing chamber 23, in which the threshing chamber 23 includes a threshing cylinder 31 configured to rotate around a front-rear axis X, and an arc-shaped receiving net 32 provided extending along an outer circumferential portion of the threshing cylinder 31, and a top plate 30 covering an upper portion of the threshing chamber 23 is supported detachably along the rotation axis direction of the threshing cylinder 31.

A combine harvester includes a feederhouse configured to convey a crop material from a harvesting header, a threshing system configured to receive the crop material from the feederhouse and separate straw therefrom, and a cleaning system below the threshing system and configured to separate grain from chaff of the crop material. The cleaning system includes a stratification pan, a chaffer, and a blower to direct air rearward and upward through the chaffer. The stratification pan has a frame, a series of adjustable ripple members coupled to the frame, a series of support members pivotally coupled to the frame, and an adjusting rod configured to move the support members to change an incline angle of the ripple members relative to the frame. Each support member also supports one of the ripple members. Related methods are also disclosed.

A method and device for harvesting grain crops is provided. A threshing method includes separating grain from harvested material, which is fed to a threshing phase after a gathering process taking place against a direction of working travel. During threshing, the harvested material is processed as the respective grain crops and admixtures in the form of straw and chaff such that essential, dischargeable admixtures are separated from the grain crops, and these, in the form of a mixture with chaff or similar fine particles, are fed as a grain/chaff stream to a final cleaning. The grains free of these residual admixtures are subsequently collected as grain crops. During at least one feed phase preceding the final cleaning, a transport movement is imparted to the at least one grain/chaff stream with the transport movement having a component in a vertical direction and a component in the direction of working travel.

Agricultural implements include equipment designed for harvesting, cleaning and storing farming produce. The farming produce it is designed to process particularly includes peanuts, beans or any other produce disposed in rows that can be gathered from the ground. The agricultural equipment can include a head (2), endowed with a collecting platform (3) with belts (5); with the head (2) including a transmission box (4) of the dual and pivotable type. The head (2) has complete hydraulic system with hydraulic oil tank (9), heat exchanger (9A) and filters, and the transmission box (4) further has an auxiliary input (11) to couple an accessory that can be hydraulic, pneumatic or electric, in order to drive auxiliary systems. In the rear part of the equipment are helicoids (6) that extend to the vertical transporter (7) and latter to the container (8).

A graphical user interface (60) for a combine harvester (10) includes, in a first portion (62) of the user interface, a graphical representation (66, 70) of an amount of material passing through a threshing system (22) at multiple positions along a longitudinal direction of the combine harvester, and a graphical representation (68, 72) of an amount of material passing through a cleaning system (42) at multiple positions along the longitudinal direction of the combine harvester. The user interface further includes, in a second portion (64) of the user interface, a graphical representation (74, 78) of an amount of material passing through the threshing system (22) at a plurality of locations along a lateral axis of the combine harvester, and a graphical representation (76, 80) of an amount of material passing through the cleaning system (42) at a plurality of locations along the lateral axis of the combine harvester.
