Automated adjustment devices modify tractor speed and swath geometry based on real-time crop sensors to reduce crude ash levels.
A belt rake features an oblique conveying area that transports hay sideways while straightening lower layers down the slope.
Integrating elastic masses within the hydraulic cylinder assembly balances long rake arms, reducing system complexity while accommodating ground unevenness.
Pivotable outer rake rotors fold upward to reduce vehicle length during transport.
Pivotal rake arms and a center kicker assembly resolve uneven terrain issues while an axle dampener prevents castor wheel wobbling.
A horizontal spring floats rake arms to neutralize weight, while a hydraulic lift cylinder pivots them for compact transport.
Segmenting the drive into independent electric motors eliminates heavy cardan shafts and gears, reducing machine weight.
Segmenting the support structure height resolves the trade-off between low belt elevation for collection and large drive roll diameter for reliable engagement.
A universal rake uses a reversible belt to form various swaths and working widths.
A rotary swather control device adjusts rotor positions based on steering angles to maintain consistent swath coverage.
