Embodiment Construction

[0054] Referring to the drawings, in a preferred embodiment, a mobile vehicle-trailer combination 10 according to the present invention includes an agricultural tractor 11 that tows a baler 12 .

[0055] As mentioned, the vehicle-trailer combination 10 may take a variety of different forms, but the exemplary tractor-baler combination 11, 12 illustrates the principles and practical details of the invention.

[0056] Thus, tractor 11 is an example (of many possible vehicle types) of a self-propelled vehicle. Tractor 11 is self-propelled in the sense that it includes a diesel engine, a fuel source in the form of a diesel tank and refueling system, and a drive train that includes a plurality of drive shafts, a transmission, and typically at least one clutch or other drive Selection means, all of which are familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0057] The tractor 11 includes at least one surface engaging member, being a plurality of rotatable, tire-mounted front left and right wh...

Abstract

A moveable vehicle-trailer combination (11, 12) includes (a) a self-powered vehicle (11) having one or more surface-engaging members (13, 14, 16, 17) and a steering mechanism for steering at least onesaid surface-engaging member (13, 14) so as to cause changes in a direction of movement of the vehicle (11); and (b) a trailer (12) that is towed behind the vehicle (11) as the vehicle (11) moves forwardly and is pivotably connected to the vehicle (11). The combination (11, 12) includes one or more forwardly effective sensors (27) for sensing one or more objects and / or artefacts and / or conditionslocated forwardly of the vehicle (11); (d) one or more laterally effective sensor (29) for sensing one or more objects and / or artefacts and / or conditions that when sensed are located laterally of thevehicle (11) and / or the trailer (12); and (e) a control and / or processing apparatus that acts in dependence on at least one output of the one or more laterally effective sensors (29) to take accountof the presence of one or more objects and / or artefacts and / or conditions sensed by the one or more laterally effective sensor (29).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to vehicle-trailer combinations. The invention is particularly useful where a trailer is towed to pass repeatedly along an area such as a farm field. Background technique [0002] It is well known in the field of agricultural machinery and other areas of the transportation industry to tow a wheeled or otherwise grounded (eg, on skids or tracks) trailer behind a powered vehicle to enable the trailer to perform a specific task. [0003] In agriculture, in most cases the vehicle is a tractor. [0004] An example of a trailer to which the present invention is particularly concerned is a strapping machine or strapping machine. This produces bales of valuable straw (or other plant component) products, such as hay, silage, and straw, that accumulate in the field when harvesting or mowing operations occur. Such products are referred to herein as "harvested products" and derivatives thereof. In mo...
