Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle for gardening and agricultural work provided with four wheels, of which at least two are drive wheels, and an engine, comprising a frame consisting essentially of a longitudinally extending beam preferably of hollow box section and internally housing the drive shaft or shafts. It is provided with a least one power take-off, and preferably two, of which one is at the front and one is at the rear. The vehicle is preferably provided with a steering handlebar and a seat for the operator. Preferably, the engine is positioned at the rear and at least the front wheels are drive wheels. The vehicle is provided with a gearbox and preferably a separate quick-reversing mechanism. This mechanism and the gearbox are housed in casings preferably disposed on the axis of the beam-frame to form a structural part thereof.The vehicle is suitable for fast travel on and off the road and for use as a vehicle without the addition of implements.
Abstract: The invention relates to a mowing device applicable to any type of front cutting or non-front cutting mowing machine, power mower or mower driven by a tractor or other vehicle, comprising a support bar preferably rigidly fixed to the mowing machine frame, and with which there are associated, in a fixed position, guide means for a comb and for a cutting blade which overlies the comb, these latter oscillating in opposite directions longitudinally to said support bar. The comb is provided with teeth which extend forwards and are provided with tangs directed rearwardly and upwardly. Drive means are provided to cause the blade and comb to oscillate in phase opposition so as to dynamically compensate the device wholly or partly, the travel strokes of the blade and comb being preferably inversely proportional to their respective masses, the mass ratio of comb to blade being preferably between 1.5 and 3.
Abstract: A fodder conditioner, also known as a fodder squeezer, includes at least two horizontal rotating rollers, kinematic and constructional devices for securing the rollers in a mutual substantially parallel relationship, spaced apart at preset positions with respect to each other and to the ground, and a motor kinetically coupled to the rollers. At least one of the rollers is formed from an elastomeric material such as rubber, is of hollow construction, and is secured, mechanically and in an air-tight manner, to a shaft extending coaxially with the rotation axis of the rollers, with the two ends of the shaft protruding out of the roller ends.
