Abstract: A driver pacing information apparatus for providing a driver of transport vehicle with pacing information for operating the transport vehicle alongside a harvester may include a position sensing assembly configured to sense a position of a transfer spout of the harvester with respect to a frame of the harvester, a pacing indication display configured to provide pacing information to the driver of the transport vehicle, and a controller assembly configured to control the pacing indication display based upon position sensing of the position sensing assembly. The pacing indication display may be configured to visually provide pacing information to the driver of the transport vehicle.

Abstract: A mobile elevating apparatus may include a mobile base having a front and a rear with a longitudinal axis being defined between the front and rear, with the mobile base comprising a frame and a wheel assembly mounted on the frame to support the frame in a manner permitting mobility. The apparatus may also include a lift assembly including at least one tier and being mounted on the frame and being extendable and retractable with respect to the frame to raise and lower a top of the lift assembly, an object mounted on the top of the lift assembly such that extension and retraction of the lift assembly raises and lowers the object, a power source positioned on the mobile base; and a control assembly mounted on the mobile base. In embodiments, the object may comprise a display sign.

Abstract: A tool supporting bar comprising an elongated tubular perimeter wall defining an interior and including first and second perimeter wall portions. Each perimeter wall portion includes a first side wall portion and sections of two other side wall portions each extending from the first side wall portion. Each perimeter wall portion may be substantially U-shaped and positioned in opposition to each other, with the two perimeter wall portions being connected together. At least one reinforcing wall may be located in the interior and attached to the first side wall portion of one of the perimeter wall portions. Embodiments with the reinforcing wall attached to the exterior of the perimeter wall are also described.

Abstract: A tool supporting bar for supporting tools on an implement is disclosed and comprises an elongated tubular perimeter wall defining an interior and including a side wall portion. The bar includes a reinforcing wall located in the interior of the perimeter wall and mounted on the perimeter wall in a manner effective to increase bending resistance of the perimeter wall to a force applied in a direction normal to a plane of one of the side wall portion. A method of forming a tool bar comprises providing an elongated tubular perimeter wall defining an interior and including a one side wall portion; positioning a reinforcing wall in the interior of the perimeter wall; and mounting the reinforcing wall on the perimeter wall in a manner effective to increase bending resistance of the perimeter wall to a force applied in a direction normal to a plane of the side wall portion.

Abstract: An equipment attachment adapter apparatus may comprise a base frame and a throat structure on the base frame that defines a throat extending through the apparatus with an entry and exit. The throat structure may comprise a floor wall having an upper surface defining a lower boundary of the throat, a first side wall and a second side wall positioned on opposite sides of the throat, and an upper wall positioned above the floor wall. In some embodiments, the upper surface of the floor wall is curved from the entry toward the exit. In some embodiments, the throat is relatively larger toward the entry and relatively smaller toward the exit. In some embodiments, a feed roll is rotatably mounted on the base frame at least partially in the throat with chevron-shaped teeth.

Abstract: A vibration damper apparatus for use with fluid control devices is disclosed. An example fluid control device includes a housing and a piston having an outer circumferential surface and configured to be responsive to pressure within the housing to control the position of a fluid flow control member within the housing. The example fluid control device also includes a guide ring coupled to the housing and having an opening configured to receive at least a portion of the piston, and a vibration damper disposed between the guide ring and the piston to frictionally engage the outer circumferential surface of the piston.
