A reciprocating knife assembly of an agricultural implement includes first and second elongate reciprocating knives disposed along a leading edge of an agricultural implement, the reciprocating knives being disposed end to end and extending colinearly for simultaneous reciprocation in opposite directions, the first and second reciprocating knives being supported for sliding movement on the agricultural implement in a lateral direction generally perpendicular to the direction of travel of the agricultural implement as it travels through an agricultural field harvesting crop, a first bell crank coupled to the first reciprocating knife to reciprocate said knife, a second bell crank coupled to the second reciprocating knife to reciprocate the second reciprocating knife, and a common drive coupled to the first and second bell cranks to drive both the first and second bell cranks in opposite directions simultaneously.

Reciprocating knife assembly and reciprocating knife drive assembly

An integrated axle and transmission arrangement may include an axle arrangement for an agricultural vehicle with ground-engaging wheels or tracks. A support structure of the axle arrangement may define an internal mounting volume configured for mounting a transmission assembly therein. First and second stub axles may extend from opposite sides of the support structure along an axle axis. The mounting volume may be disposed along the axle axis.

Axle and transmission arrangement for an agricultural vehicle

A method of controlling a multiengine harvester including the steps of operating the harvester in a first mode, operating the harvester in a second mode, and selecting less than all of the power absorbing loads to be driven. In the first mode, the harvester is operated using a first engine and a second engine to drive the plurality of power absorbing loads. In the second mode, the harvester is operated with the second engine being uncoupled from all of the power absorbing loads. In the selecting step, less than all of the power absorbing loads are selected to be driven dependent upon the sensed load on the first engine while operating in the second mode. The first engine is incapable of driving all of the power absorbing loads.

Harvester load control system

An extendible axle member (or) is provided for a pivoting axle of an agricultural harvester (), the extendible axle member (or) having an elongate telescopic portion () with bearing surfaces for being slidably received in an outer axle member (or), wherein the elongate telescopic portion () is formed integral with and abuts a C-frame for supporting a steering knuckle (or).

Bearing arrangement for a telescopic axle

An agricultural work machine for performing harvesting operations. The agricultural work machine includes a support structure. An unloading system is coupled to the support structure and is configured to transport an agricultural product received from a hopper to an off-machine location. The unloading system includes a transfer assembly having a discharge chute. A positioning system is configured to adjust at least one of an elevation, a length and a rotational position of the transfer assembly to position the discharge chute. A control system is configured to automatically locate the discharge chute from a stowed position to a desired unload position of a plurality of preset unload positions upon receiving an operator input via an operator input device.

Agricultural work machine having an unloading system for unloading an agricultural product

An extendible axle member () is provided for an agricultural harvester (), the axle () having an elongate telescopic portion () with bearing surfaces () for being slidably received in an outer axle member ().

Extendible axle member for the rear of an agricultural harvester

A grain moving system providing for single point unloading of harvesters to a grain cart. There are a plurality of harvesting machines including a first harvesting machine and a second harvesting machine. The first harvesting machine being configured to deliver grain to the grain cart. The first harvesting machine receiving grain from the second harvesting machine. The first harvesting machine being configured for the coordination of grain transfer.

Multiple harvester unloading system

An automatically adjustable axle stop of an agricultural combine () includes a sensor () to sense the position of an extendible axle () supported on the chassis () of the agricultural combine () at a pivot coupling (), the extendable axle () being configured to pivot about a longitudinal pivotal axis () with respect to the chassis (), an electronic control unit () to read the sensor (), to calculate a stop position based at least on the sensor signal, and to control an axle oscillation stop () in order to limit the range of pivoting of the extendible axle () about the pivotal axis ().

Automatically adjustable axle oscillation stops

A method for changing the track of a vehicle () having first and second wheels () disposed on opposing sides of the vehicle () along a line generally perpendicular to the direction of travel of the vehicle, the first and second wheels (are supported on first and second wheel supports () to permit the track of the first and second wheels () to be adjusted, at least one actuator () is coupled to at least one wheel of the first and second wheels () and is configured to change the toe angle of said first and second wheels (), and an electronic control unit () is coupled to the actuator () that is configured to command the actuator () to change the toe angle, the method comprising the steps of changing the toe angle of the first and second wheels (); rolling the vehicle () on the first and second wheels () over the ground to generate opposing lateral forces on the first and second wheels (); and applying the opposing lateral forces to the first and second wheel supports () to change the track of the first and second wheels ().

Method of automatically changing wheel toe angle

A belt conveyor () for an agricultural harvester comprises first and second conveyors that include side rails () made of extrusions in which the side rails () of the first conveyor have extruded profiles that engage extruded profiles of the side rails () of the second conveyor (), wherein the mating extruded profiles permit relative sliding movement between the first and second conveyors. The two mating pairs of side rails (and) may be driven in parallel by a common motor ().

Multifunction conveyor side extrusions

A suspension system for an unloading conveyor of an agricultural harvester vehicle, has a first support configured to hold the unloading conveyor in a vertical unloading position; a second support configured to hold the unloading conveyor in a horizontal unloading position; a control circuit coupled to the first and second supports, wherein the control circuit is configured to selectively engage at least one gas charged hydraulic accumulator to one of the first support and the second support to thereby spring-load the unloading conveyor in the vertical or the horizontal direction (or both).

Unloading conveyor suspension system

An agricultural work machine having a chassis with an operating direction and a transport system coupled to the chassis. The transport system includes a plurality of wheels including a first wheel and a wheel repositioning system. The wheel repositioning system is operatively connected to the first wheel. The wheel repositioning system is configured to adjust a position of the first wheel in a direction substantially normal to the operating direction while the chassis is moving in the operating direction.

Device and method for reducing tire wear on an agricultural vehicle

An agricultural vehicle including plurality of engines, a plurality of mechanical loads, a plurality of electrical generators, a plurality of electrical loads, at least one load sensor, and a controller. The plurality of engines includes a first engine and a second engine. The plurality of mechanical loads includes a first mechanical load and a second mechanical load. The first mechanical load is coupled to the first engine and a second mechanical load is coupled to the second engine. The plurality of electrical generators includes a first generator and a second generator. The first generator is coupled to the first engine and the second generator is coupled to the second engine.
