Abstract: An agricultural baler includes a main bale chamber, and a plunger reciprocally movable within the main bale chamber through a compression stroke and a return stroke. The plunger has a duty cycle with a maximum power requirement, a minimum power requirement, and an average power requirement over the duty cycle. The baler further includes an auxiliary power system which is configured for transmitting power to the driveline to offset the duty cycle of the plunger and thereby establish a substantially constant power requirement at the driveline.

Abstract: An agricultural baler includes a flywheel, a driveline associated with the flywheel and couplable with a power take-off (PTO) of a traction unit, and a movable component which is driven directly or indirectly by the driveline and movable in a linear and/or rotational manner. The baler further includes an auxiliary power system coupled with the movable component. The auxiliary power system is configured for receiving power from the movable component and storing the power.

Abstract: An agricultural baler includes a chassis, a flywheel carried by the chassis, and a driveline associated with the flywheel and couplable with a power take-off (PTO) of a traction unit. The agricultural baler further includes an auxiliary power system coupled with the driveline. The auxiliary power system is configured for receiving power from the driveline, storing the power, and transmitting the stored power back to the driveline.

Abstract: A fan drive for a working vehicle includes a speed shift unit and a fan in series to the speed shift unit. The speed shift unit includes a clutch unit and is configured to discretely provide a first non-zero speed ratio and a second non-zero speed ratio. The clutch unit is configured to alternatively connect the first or the second non-zero speed ratio to the fan.

Abstract: An agricultural baler includes a chassis, a flywheel carried by the chassis, and a driveline associated with the flywheel and couplable with a PTO of a traction unit. The baler is characterized by an auxiliary power system coupled with the driveline. The auxiliary power system is configured for receiving power from the driveline, storing the power, and utilizing the stored power to power at least one functional component onboard the baler.

Abstract: An agricultural baler includes a main bale chamber, a plunger, a gear box, and a stuffer unit. The plunger is reciprocally movable within the main bale chamber. The stuffer unit is driven by the plunger and the gear box, and is movable through a stuffer cycle for transferring crop material in charges into the main bale chamber. The agricultural baler further includes a hydraulic brake associated with and configured for acting as a brake on the stuffer unit during a portion of the stuffer cycle.

Abstract: Agricultural vehicle comprising a body to which a front axle is pivotally connected. The agricultural vehicle includes a hydraulic cylinder mounted as a suspension system between the body and the axle. The hydraulic cylinder is fluid-connected, via a steerable valve, to one of an open oil reservoir and an accumulator.

Abstract: A variable pitch fan is provided, which comprises a plurality of blades (2), a supporting device (3) for supporting the blades (2), a rotation device (18) for rotating the supporting device (3) around a rotation axis (X), so that the blades (2) rotate with the supporting device (3) to control an air flow, and an adjusting device for adjusting a pitch of the blades by tilting each blade (2) around a respective tilt axis (Z), the adjusting device comprising a driven element (4) fixed relative to a blade (2). The adjusting device further comprises a mechanical driving element (5) supported by the supporting device (3) so as to rotate with the supporting device (3), the mechanical driving element (5) being linearly displaceable relative to the supporting device (3) and being coupled to the driven element (4) so that a linear motion of the mechanical driving element (5) is converted into a rotary motion of the driven element (4) around the tilt axis (Z).
