Abstract: The present invention relates to a structural element (1) for agricultural equipment comprising at least one pair of transverse beams (10, 11) associated with at least one pair of support bars (20, 21) of a set of agricultural discs (200), where the longitudinal distance (D1) between the beams of the pair of transverse beams (10, 11) is smaller than the longitudinal distance (D2) between the bars of the pair of support bars (20, 21), the which allows a greater free space for the flow of material cut by the discs (soil and plant residues) and a decrease in the occurrence of stops to clear the obstruction or even the formation of “heaps” on the ground, while still promoting an adequate arrangement for the absorption and dissipation of efforts that act on the structural element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control system for use in an agricultural harvester, the system comprising a control panel (10) configured to send at least one mode signal (11) to a control means (20) via an user's (100) command (50), the control means (20) being configured to receive the mode signal (11) and generate a set of instructions (30), the set of instructions (30) being a function of the received mode signal (11), the control means (20) being configured to control at least one piece of equipment from a set of equipment (40) of the agricultural harvester depending on the generated set of instructions (30), providing greater reliability, precision and efficiency in its operation and elimination of operational errors caused by the user.

Abstract: An improved tilting bearing assembly (100) is provided that includes a support bracket and a tilting bearing; the support bracket and the tilting bearing, along with methods of replacing the same are also provided. The support bracket generally comprises a substantially planar upper portion lying in a first plane and having two opposing ends and a pair of elongated openings, each elongated opening extending in a first direction entirely through the upper portion of the support and having a closed end and an opposing open end, the closed end of each elongated opening being equidistant from respective ones of the two opposing ends; and two opposing leg portions, each leg portion projecting at an angle relative to the first plane, extending at respective upper ends of each leg portion from one of the two opposing ends of the upper portion and terminating at respective lower ends of each leg portion.

Abstract: A sugar-cane harvester having a tubular frame is provided. The frame is configured for mounting a set of sugar-cane harvesting devices (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10), and is formed by a set of tubular parts linked mechanically to one another. The mechanical linking between the tubular parts that form the frame are made via at least one of rivets, soldering, or flanges. The frame may also be an exoskeleton-type frame configured for receiving all the components that form the industrial system of a sugar-cane harvester.

Abstract: One describes a feed-belt (100) for a sugar-cane harvester, comprising first (1) and second (2) belts that substantially overlap each other and define a space for passage of cut cane between them (1, 2), the first and the second belts (1,2) exhibiting a substantially curved profile. The invention has the objective of providing a feed-belt (100) for a sugar-cane harvester that can be used for the processes of both harvesting cane for grinding and harvesting seedlings for plantation, also providing a decrease in the total weight of the machine, lower hydraulic power required for the feed assembly, a smaller number of hydraulic components and lower final cost of the machine, besides simplicity and lower maintenance cost.
