  • Hay bale accumulator
    Publication number: 20070217893
    Abstract: A drag-behind square hay bale accumulator that groups ten (10) bales of hay is claimed. The grouping configuration has the advantage of providing the first two bales of hay turned at right angles to the remaining bales, to provide for improved stacking of the hay bales. The accumulator is comprised of an open framework within which channels for routing the bales are positioned. After a group of ten (10) bales is collected, the accumulator leaves the bales on the field in a grouping that can be mechanically picked up and stacked.

  • Seed cotton module handler with trash separator
    Patent number: 5537809
    Abstract: An infeed conveyor feeds seed cotton modules successively to a feeder head having disperser drums which reduce the modules to clumps of cotton. Incorporated into the conveyor are fluted rollers and beater rollers which cooperate to agitate the bottom portion of the modules and work the fibers on the bottom of each module so as to stretch and relax these fibers, thereby causing the sand, dirt, mud, trash and other debris accumulated along the bottom of the modules to be released. A conveyor feeds this debris to a hopper.

  • Two-ply belting material
    Patent number: 4900609
    Abstract: Two-ply belting having improved dimensional stability flexing characteristics and elongation characteristics is disclosed. The belting comprises a first synthetic fabric proximate to the friction rubber surface of said belting and a second synthetic fabric distal to the friction rubber surface. The modulus and flex fatique life of the first synthetic fabric is greater than the modulus and flex fatique life of the second synthetic fabric. Belting with accordance with this invention is useful in agricultural applications.
