An agricultural vehicle includes a chassis; a header carried by the chassis and including a cutter mechanism, the header being adjustable in a vertical direction; a swath roller carried by the chassis behind the header; a roller actuator connected to the swath roller and configured to adjust the swath roller in the vertical direction; and a controller coupled to the roller actuator. The controller is configured for: detecting when the header raises in the vertical direction; recording a header raising point where the header raises; determining when the swath roller reaches the header raising point; and signaling the roller actuator to raise the swath roller when the swath roller reaches the header raising point. |

An agricultural machine with a mechanism involving rotating fingers for gathering crops towards an entry port, such as a rotating auger tube, has fingers mounted to be rotatable about a shaft that is itself movable inside the rotating tube, as the ends of the shaft are supported by a pair of cams. The ends of the shaft are movable along cam tracks which impose movement of the shaft along a pre-defined trajectory. Through a suitable coupling mechanism, the rotation of the tube drives the movement of the shaft ends in the cam tracks and hence the movement of the shaft itself, while the shaft remains parallel to the tube's rotation axis. |

A computer-implemented method and control system for gathering material is described. One or more vehicles may include an intake mechanism for material and a location-tracking system. A current orientation of the intake mechanism is identified based upon location information from the tracking system. A current orientation of the material is determined based upon historical location information for the material. A target orientation of the intake mechanisms is determined based upon the current orientation of the material. Movement of the intake mechanism is thus directed toward the determined target orientation. |

A harvesting header includes a header frame, a flexible cutterbar assembly, and a draper assembly. The cutterbar assembly is mounted to the header frame and includes a plurality of skids. Each of the skids has a lower margin configured to engage the ground such that the skids cooperatively cause flexing of the cutterbar assembly along the length thereof in response to changes in terrain as the header is advanced. Each skid presents a skid surface extending from the lower skid margin. |

A seed pan apparatus has an elongated seed pan plate with parallel right and left edges, a curved configuration and a pointed front end. An engagement mechanism attaches the plate to a harvester cutting header such that the plate is above two adjacent guard fingers, such that an open slot is defined between the right edge of one plate and the left edge of an adjacent plate and the edges of the slot are in proximity to the outer edges of the guard fingers under the adjacent plates. The point is offset to make one front tapering edge forming the point longer than the other. The inclination, height, and fore and aft position of the seed pan plate can be adjusted. |

An agricultural conveyor assembly of the type including a main conveyor, a feed auger assembly, and a main auger boot pivotally supporting the outlet end of the feed auger assembly on the inlet end of the main conveyor for swinging movement further includes a feed auger lift assembly. The feed auger lift assembly includes: i) a support assembly pivotally supported on the main auger boot for pivotal movement with the feed auger assembly about an upright axis and which further pivotally supports the feed auger assembly thereon for relative pivoting about a horizontal lift axis; and ii) an extendable lift member coupled between the feed auger assembly and the support assembly such that the extendable lift member controls pivotal movement of the feed auger assembly about the lift axis while being movable together with the feed auger assembly about the swing axis. |

In an example embodiment a header includes a rotatable lean bar. A controller may be provided to manipulate the rotation of the lean bar. In an example embodiment, rotation of the lean bar may be manipulated in response to a characteristic of a vehicle, such as vehicle speed. In one example embodiment a control panel is provided in a cab of a vehicle to allow an operator to manipulate rotation of the lean bar. A sensor may be provided to detect characteristics of the rotation and a display provided to indicate rotational characteristics of the lean bar. |

The mower of the present invention comprises a frame, a cutting mechanism supported by the frame, and a windrow grouping mechanism. In turn, the windrow grouping mechanism comprises a longitudinal conveying device and a transverse conveying device. The mower of the present invention is notable in that the longitudinal conveying device comprises at least one roller, the longitudinal axis of which is substantially perpendicular to a direction of forward travel of the mower. The roller is driven in rotation about the longitudinal axis so that its surface transports a product, cut by the cutting mechanism, toward the rear of the mower. |

Billie C. Vandever; Vicki Vandever |
A multi-crop harvester/windrower farm implement may be pushed before a tractor or harvester, to harvest and/or windrow a crop. The implement includes a frame having a plurality of horizontal arms at ground level, which support and position a crop dissociating structure to uproot or sever the stalks of the crop. The implement may include a crop reel to move the uprooted or severed crop to a draper belt, which deposits the crop in a windrow outward of the tractor wheels. In one embodiment, the crop dissociating structure includes interchangeable rod weeder and sickle attachments, allowing a user to choose between uprooting the crop, or severing the stalks of the crop. A plurality of adjustment structure may be included to adjust the altitude of the crop dissociating structure with respect to the crop, facilitating use of the implement on multiple crops. The rod weeder, crop reel, sickle, and draper belt may be driven to rotate by hydraulic motors attached to the PTO system of the tractor or harvester. |

A crop stalk guide assembly for use on a crop gathering header cutterbar of a crop harvesting machine includes a support framework and a plurality of flat guide plates. The support framework is attachable to the cutterbar of the crop gathering header so as to extend forwardly from below the sickle guards and a sickle of the cutterbar. The flat guide plates are attached on the top of a forward portion of the support framework so as to extend above the cutterbar sickle guards and sickle. The guide plates are spaced laterally from one another so as to define elongated passageways between them running in the direction of forward travel and leading rearwardly between the sickle guards to the sickle of the cutterbar. |

A windrow mover having a frame with a linkage arm on each side. Each of the linkage arms having a first end pivotally attached near the front of and at a point on the axis of the frame. An axle is attached to a second end of each linkage arm defining an axis. Ground engaging wheels are mounted on each of the axles, thereby permitting movement of the frame over a groundsurface. A hydraulic cylinder is provided for moving the linkage arm such that the axis of the frame moves in a substantially vertical plane radially about the axis of the wheels as defined by the axle, thereby altering the spacial relationship between the frame and the wheels from an operative position where the front of the frame is adjacent the groundsurface to a transport position where the front of the frame is spaced from the groundsurface. |

An inversion chute for use on a windrow turner having a pickup mechanism for elevating a windrow of crop material off the ground and a cross conveyor for receiving the elevated windrow and conveying the windrow laterally of the direction of travel is disclosed wherein the inversion chute is telescopically mounted in a mounting sleeve to permit lateral adjustment thereof relative to the discharge end of the cross conveyor. The inversion chute is also pivotally mounted on the frame of the windrow turner for movement between an operating position adjacent to and laterally outboard of the cross conveyor and a transport position rearwardly of the pickup and cross conveyor. An overcenter biasing spring retains the inversion chute in its selected position. |
